The man awaiting trial for the alleged murder of his partner's young daughter Charlise Mutten is facing new charges of firearm possession and child abuse material.
Justin Stein was charged with the murder over the death of the 9-year-old after her body was found on the banks of the ColoRiver on January 18.
The little girl had disappeared from her Blue Mountains home, sparking a four-day search of nearby bushland by volunteers and emergency services.

The items were seized and underwent forensic examination.
Homicide detectives attended Silverwater prison on Thursday where Stein is awaiting the trial for the child's alleged murder to lay the new charges.
