A man accused of murder after his wife was found dead in suspicious circumstances near a ride-on lawnmower has been remanded in custody. Air force pilot Robert Crawford, 47, was not required to appear in person at Ipswich Magistrates Court, west of Brisbane, on Friday for a brief mention of the charges. He was arrested on Thursday and later charged with murder and interfering with a corpse, months after his wife Frances Elizabeth Crawford’s body was discovered.
Crawford’s solicitor, Andrew McGinness sought a two-week adjournment for the case to be mentioned again on October 25. Magistrate Sue Ganasan granted the application and ordered Crawford be held in custody. Under Queensland law, persons charged with murder must apply for bail in the Supreme Court. McGinness did not comment as he left court. In a public appeal last week, homicide detectives asked people who had been in contact with Crawford to come forward with any relevant information.
