Kerry Lee Whiting, 44, appeared by video before Justice Gregory Geason and was remanded in custody.
Crown prosecutor John Ransom said he expected Mr Whiting's defence counsel Evan Hughes to speak to his client about a Crown statement of facts before he reappeared on June 14.
Mr Hughes told the court that Risdon Prison would reopen to visits by defence counsel on May 31 which would enable him to speak to Mr Whiting in person.
Mr Whiting previously pleaded not guilty in December 2021 to the murder of Adrian Paul Mayne and the attempted murder of Natalie Joyce Harris, 36, at a house in Ravenswood on November 25, 2021.
Mr Whiting also pleaded not guilty in December to a count of aggravated burglary of a house in Prossers Forest Road.
However, early this month the court was told the matters were fully resolved and an indication as to plea would be given on May 23.
Justice Geason adjourned the cases to June 14.
