More details emerge in the arrest of a second man relating to the murder of Stephanie Scott.

More details emerge about the man accused of helping his brother allegedly cover the murder of a NSW school teacher.

Vincent Stanford, accused of killing Stephanie Scott, reportedly sent her belongings in the post to another man.

Yesterday, that man – who cannot be named – was arrested in South Australia and ordered to be extradited to NSW to face charges relating to Ms Scott’s death.

The 24-year-old was arrested in his Forreston home, north-east of Adelaide, after police obtained a search warrant for his residence.

Mail Online allege he was possibly in possession of items belonging to Ms Scott. The charge sheet suggests the man assisted Ms Stanford in concealing the alleged murder of the 26-year-old bride-to-be.

Yesterday, Mount Barker Magistrates’ Court granted his extradition to NSW, where it is believed he will be charged with being an accessory after the murder.

When the magistrate asked if he had any reason not to be extradited, the man responded: “‘Never been there, so I wouldn’t need to return.”

Police believe Ms Scott was murdered on April 5 by Mr Stanford.

Ms Scott disappeared on April 5 — only days before her wedding — when she went to Leeton High School to prepare lessons for a substitute teacher.

Police believe she crossed paths with Mr Stanford, who allegedly proceeded to sexually assault, kill and then attempt to burn and hide her body in Cocoparra National Park.
