NZ murder accused case delayed

A New Zealand man accused of murdering a father of two on the Gold Coast has had his case adjourned until next year.

The murder case against a New Zealand man accused of murdering father-of-two Greg Dufty has been adjourned until the new year.

Aaron Crawford, 27, didn't face Southport Magistrates Court on Wednesday when his case was adjourned until January 28.

Crawford and co-accused Lionel Patea have both been charged with killing Mr Dufty despite the 37-year-old's body not being found after he went missing in June.
