Murder accused fronts Melbourne court

Kamil Yucel has been remanded in custody over the murder of 20-year-old Rahat Khan in Melbourne.

A 28-year-old man accused of gunning down Rahat Khan in Melbourne has made his first court appearance.

Kamil Yucel, of Dallas, appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday charged with murder, following his arrest on Friday night.

Yucel, sporting a beard and grey windcheater, was remanded in custody during the brief hearing and ordered to reappear in the same court for a filing hearing on Wednesday.

Mr Khan, 20, from Dandenong, died of gunshot wounds in Millewa Crescent, Dallas, on Tuesday evening after a friend driving him pulled over to ask for help.

The Afghani migrant came to Australia as a child and settled in North Dandenong with his family. Friends remembered him for his sporting prowess in both cricket and Australian rules football.
