Harpreet Singh, who was cleared of murder four years ago, appeared in Griffith Local Court last week.

He was given an 18-month good behaviour bond and is not allowed to contact his ex-partner, Sunaina Vardanega, and her husband Russell Vardanega.

Court heard that on July 25, Mr Vardanega received a phone call from Mr Singh.

When he refused to meet him, Mr Singh said he would "fix up" Mr Vardanega and threatened to kill him.

A spokesman for the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection said Mr Singh did not have a valid visa and was in immigration detention.

"The Australian government takes very seriously its role in protecting the Australian community from the risk of harm by non-citizens who engage in criminal conduct," the spokesman said.

"Any detainee who does not have ongoing matters with the department or before the courts will be liable for removal from Australia."

Mr Singh was the prime suspect in the murder case of Ranjodh Sing, who had his hands and feet bound and was stabbed 20 times in December 2009.

The man's throat was slashed and his body was set alight was he was still alive.

His charred remains were found in a ditch on Wilga Road, about 20 kilometres outside of Griffith.

Two-and-a-half years later, in the Albury Supreme Court, a jury found the man accused of his murder, Harpreet Singh, not guilty.

The Crown case against the then 26-year-old had relied entirely on the evidence of two witnesses who were present when Harpreet Singh and Ranjodh Singh disappeared into orchards outside of Griffith, after arguing over money.

Police believed a dispute over about $2000 in wages owed to Ranjodh Singh by Harpreet Singh motivated the alleged murder, documents tendered to the court said at the time.

Forensic examinations failed to link Harpreet Singh to the crime.

The murder, along with a number of other crimes against Indian nationals in late 2009 and early 2010, caused international ructions and the Indian government issued travel warnings to its citizens visiting Australia.
