A man extradited from New Zealand to Australia has appeared in court charged with the murder of a pool builder who went missing on the Gold Coast in July.
Aaron John Crawford appeared briefly in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday, a day after being extradited over his alleged involvement in the disappearance of father-of-two Greg Dufty.
His case will next be heard alongside his co-accused, Lionel Patea, in the Southport Magistrates Court next Wednesday.
Crawford, who spoke briefly to his lawyer in court before his case was heard, also faces one charge of interfering with a corpse.
The 27-year-old was remanded in custody and is not expected to appear in court when his case is next heard.
