A young woman accused of fatally attacking an Indian student she met on a dating app has had her charges upgraded to murder.

Jamie Lee Dolheguy, 18, sat impassively with her head slightly down as she appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday, via a video link from custody.

Ms Dolheguy was arrested last week over an alleged attack on Maulin Rathod at her home in Sunbury last Monday, which left the 25-year-old with fatal injuries. He died in hospital the following day.
