The daughter of former New South Wales Premier Neville Wran appeared briefly in a Sydney court today charged with the murder of 48-year-old Daniel McNulty.
Harriet Wran and two other men are charged with the stabbing murder of the reported drug-dealer at a Redfern unit block on Sunday night.
The 26-year-old handed herself in at a local police station on Wednesday.
Represented by top defence barrister, Winston Terracini, she is expected to plead not guilty and won't apply for bail.
But her appearence at court this morning sparked an almost comical reaction from Sydney's media.

The 26-year-old is being described by a local tabloid as "one of the country's most privileged young women," due to the large inheritance from her late father and schooling at Sydney's exclusive private schools.
UPDATE: Details given to the court indicate Ms Wran had been struggling with an ice addiction in the months leading up to the incident.
Harriet Wran had been living rough for the last few weeks. Did not have a cent when arrested at Liverpool train station yesterday.

It is understood Harriet Wran has been battling an ice addiction for some time. She did not know the man she is accused of murdering.
