Charges laid against Kevin Costin include murder, involvement with arson damaging property and interference with a body in relation to the death of 37-year-old Hazel Budiongan.
References in the publication ban include section 648 of the criminal code, which prohibits the publishing of information by media before the jury makes a verdict.
The trial will likely to continue into next year.
