Her body was recovered earlier this month at a home the two shared on Spiller Road S.E.
Defence lawyer Allan Fay says Burgess has been denied legal aid. He will now make a Rowbotham application, which asks the court to force the government to pay for legal aid.
The case has been put over until August 25.
