Police believe two people were responsible for the murder of Gerogery man William Chaplin, with a third allegedly involved in the matter after his death.

Samone Watson's case was briefly heard in Albury Local Court on Thursday.

The 32-year-old Timboon woman was charged on Wednesday with assisting two people after Chaplin's alleged murder in 2010.

She had a warrant out for arrest and was taken into custody at the Albury Police Station on Wednesday morning.

One person charged with Mr Chaplin's murder was just 16 when he allegedly killed the 25-year-old.

A third man was allegedly involved in the death, but hasn't been charged.

Watson did not appear before Thursday's hearing in the Albury Local Court, which only lasted about 30 seconds.

A legal aid representative said she wasn't required to appear before the court in person.

Bail was formally refused and Watson's matter will return to the court on Monday.
