Judge Winter has also suppressed further details of the case.
The 24-year-old mother of one, Arishma was found in a pool of blood at her home by her parents in the early hours of Sunday morning.
She had just returned from a friend's birthday party when she called her parents that someone was outside the house.
Her parents found her dead body 20 minutes later at home.
Singh was separated from her husband and their 3-year-old daughter lived with her and her parents.
Her parents Rakesh and Aradhana Singh had been out on Saturday night to see relatives and her daughter with her father, Singh’s ex-husband.
