He is charged with murdering 25-year-old Georgia Hope.
Torr’s lawyer told Magistrate Reg Marron the defence was still waiting for a report from a forensic psychiatrist who had assessed him.
Police allege detectives attended a Montagu Bay home for a welfare check just before 2:30pm on December 5 last year.
Hope’s body was found inside and the property was declared a crime scene.
Torr was arrested and charged later that night.
The matter was adjourned until August 14, with Torr remanded in custody.
