Mrs Ristevski’s body was discovered on February 20 after extensive police searches. 

Detectives said earlier this year Mr Ristevski is a suspect in his wife’s death. He has always vehemently denied any involvement.

The couple share one daughter – Sarah, 22 – who has been spending much of her time in Asia since her mothers death last year. 

At the time Mrs Ristevski went missing, The Herald Sun reported the couple fought over money before her disappearance.
