The goddaughter of the late Kerry Packer, one of Australia's most successful businessmen, has been charged with murder.
Harriet Wran, 26, who is the daughter of Neville Wran, a former premier of New South Wales, is being held over the fatal stabbing of a small-time drug dealer in Sydney.
She was also charged with the attempted murder of a second man and aggravated breaking and entering, with two men facing similar charges.
The three are accused of killing Daniel McNulty, 48, who was stabbed at a local authority block in the inner-city area of Redfern on Sunday.
A second man is in hospital after being found with multiple stab wounds.
Wran was last in public in May at the state funeral of her father.
Harriet Wran reportedly took the death of her father very badly Neville Wran was in charge of the country's most populous state from 1976 until his sudden retirement in 1986.
He was described by present Prime Minister Tony Abbott as "one of the most significant figures of his generation".
Despite her background, Harriet Wran is reported to have been addicted to crystal meth or methamphetamine for some time and living penniless on the streets, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported Wran had told police she was "numb on ice" at the time of the deaths.
Some reports suggest the modern history student was badly affected by her father's death.
Her barrister Winston Terracini said his client intends to fight the charges.
"I've indicated at this stage we'll be pleading not guilty," he said.
Wran's mother Jill flew in from Brisbane to support her daughter but refused to comment, only saying "Please don't" when approached by reporters.
The case has been adjourned until October 8.
