Neville Wran's daughter Harriet Wran 'desperate' to buy the drug ice on night of stabbing: police
The daughter of the late NSW premier Neville Wran was "terrified" and "desperate" to buy the illicit drug ice on the night she, her boyfriend and another man allegedly killed an inner-Sydney drug dealer.
Fairfax Media understands Harriet Wran has told police she was "numb on ice" - the drug methylamphetamine - at the time a fight broke out in a Redfern unit on Sunday night.
Police allege Ms Wran, 26, attended the unit in Walker Street, Redfern, with two other men. They were due to meet Daniel John McNulty.
However, a fight broke out over the $70 drug deal, and Mr McNulty was stabbed to death.
Ms Wran, her boyfriend, Michael Lee, 35, and Lloyd Haines, 29, have been charged with murder.
Police allege the trio went to the unit with the joint intention of killing Mr McNulty.
Ms Wran's barrister Winton Terracini, SC, arrived at Liverpool Local Court just before 11.30am, saying his client would be pleading not guilty and would not be applying for bail.
Sources have told Fairfax Media Ms Wran will claim all she wanted to do was to feed her addiction to ice.
She has also been "basically living on the streets" for weeks, and when she was arrested had not a cent or single bank card in her possession.
Mr Lee did not appear when his matter was briefly mentioned in Liverpool Local Court.
He did not apply for bail and it was formally refused. His matter was adjourned until October 8.
Ms Wran was arrested with Mr Lee at Liverpool train station on Wednesday afternoon.
