Remains of missing bride-to-be Stephanie Scott formally identified

The remains of missing school teacher Stephanie Scott have been formally identified.

The 26-year-old went missing from the town of Leeton in NSW on Easter Sunday, the week before her wedding day.

Her body was found on Friday in bushland 70km north of Leeton, but the remains were badly burnt and required further testing to confirm the identity.

Today a spokeswoman for NSW Health Pathology confirmed the body had been formally identified.

"The formal identification and post mortem of Ms Stephanie Scott is now complete," she said.

"The interim report has been submitted to the coroner who will provide a burial order."

Vincent Stanford, a cleaner at the school where Ms Scott worked, has been charged with her murder and remains in custody.

He will appear in court in June.
