A homeless man accused of killing a Cranbourne North fisherman at Frankston Pier has appeared in court charged with murder.
Forrest Stevenson, 36, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Sunday (30 June) after the attack on a man just after 6am on Saturday.
He is accused of killing 45-year-old Andres Pancha, who was found unresponsive and died at the scene.
Shortly after, Stevenson, who was of no fixed address, was arrested on the nearby foreshore.
The two men are not believed to have known each other.
Homicide Squad Detective Senior Constable Kate Lynch told the court that 12 weeks would be needed to compile a brief of evidence for the case.
Magistrate Marc Sargent remanded Stevenson in custody until November 6 and said the accused required prompt medical attention to make his custody stay “more comfortable”.
“The nurse will see you as soon as possible today,” Magistrate Sargent said.
