Man charged with murder of young friend Sad plea: The tribute outside Ms Francis- Burrough's apartment. She was discovered alone in her Sydney apartment by a neighbour, with few clues as to how she died at age 20. Dakohta Salcedo, from South Windsor, was arrested on Wednesday and charged over the death of Ms Francis-Burroughs last June in her housing department flat in Dora Street, Marsfield. Friends: Holly Francis-Burroughs, who was found dead last June. He was refused bail, and will appear in court again on Monday. Ms Francis-Burroughs lived alone and knew her alleged killer well. They shared the same group of friends and Detective Inspector Doug Revette said the pair "frequented each other's houses." But it was difficult to establish whether they were in a relationship. When police went to the apartment on June 7, it was not immediately clear her death was suspicious. There was no weapon and a search offered few clues. No family came forward and a cardboard sign at the front of her apartment block said: "Police has found no relatives of poor Holly. Ms Francis-Burroughs, who came to Australia several years ago with an aunt, had boasted on Facebook of taking drugs, leading police to believe she might have overdosed. But in other posts, Ms Francis-Burroughs hinted that she was trying to get her life together. After three months of forensic testing by Gladesville detectives they allege that Ms Francis-Burroughs died from "compression of the neck structure" at the hands of another person. At the time of her death, it was reported that threats had been made on her Facebook page, leading detectives to keep an open mind on the cause of death. Ms Francis-Burroughs had asked her sister Bonnie Francis for support regarding a group of teenagers who wanted to bash her. There is no suggestion that these threats are linked to the alleged murder and Inspector Revette would not speculate on a motive. He has been in regular contact with Ms Francis-Burroughs' mother and sister in Canada but was yet to hear from them on the news of the arrest. On Monday Ms Francis said she missed her sister "more than anything - words could never explain." "I think about you everyday day in & day out, your litterally [sic] with me in everything i do, all i want you to do is keep that beautiful smile on your face," she posted.
