Mathurine was jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years in 2020 for his role in the gang murder of innocent Joseph Torres in East London.
Molver, who helps lags get jobs after release, admits kissing Mathurine in the workshop of HMP Belmarsh in Woolwich, South East London.
But she denies misconduct last year.
Nigel Leskin, defending, said: “She admits to a relationship but this extended only as far as letters and kissing.

“She does not accept this amounts to misconduct in public office.”
At Woolwich crown court Molver, of Chadwell Heath, Essex, was bailed for a trial in 2029 due to a backlog of cases.
Molver previously celebrated a first class honours degree in criminology from Leeds Beckett University.
HMP Belmarsh houses high-profile offenders, including national security risk prisoners.
Molver, defended by Nigel Leskin, was released on unconditional bail.
