Kiwi murder-accused denied bail in Australia

A New Zealand man charged with the murder of Gold Coast father Greg Dufty has been refused bail.

It's alleged Aaron John Crawford, 27, lured Mr Dufty to the Gold Coast hinterland where he was beaten to death and his body disposed of in a carefully-planned murder.

Crawford's bid to be released from custody was denied by Justice Peter Flanagan at Brisbane Supreme Court on Friday, on the grounds that he poses an unacceptable risk to the public and of intimidating witnesses.
