The ABC has confirmed there was no application for bail made.

The charges come days after the newlywed couple's funeral at the Albanian Australian Islamic Society mosque in Carlton.

In a long post to social media before the funeral, Mr Musai's brother described the pair as a "fairytale couple".

"People would take notice as soon as you entered a room because of the love you both had for one another," Drilon Musai wrote.

"You set the benchmark for what a fairytale couple is."

"I don't ever think that will be matched. Perfect in every way, both in and out.

"We love you, we miss you, your love was endless in life, and now it is endless in death."

Mr Shaptafaj remains in hospital under police guard.

He will appear at a committal mention at the Melbourne Magistrate's Court in May.
