An Indian-origin girl, charged for murdering her ex-lover's fiancee in Australia, has been denied bail by an Australian court.

Manisha Patel allegedly stabbed Purvi Joshi several times in the stomach before leaving her to die in Sydney last month.

Patel was produced in Fairfield Local Court and charged with a count of murder.

According to smh.com.au, police said Joshi's fiance found her wounded in their Bestic Street home at 7 am on July 30.

He called an emergency service but she was later pronounced dead.

Patel is now expected to appear in the Central Local Court in October.
