Police update on Matthew Fisher-Turner
Police provide an update over the alleged murder of 24-year-old Matthew Fisher-Turner.
Ernest Albert Fisher, 65, has been charged with murdering his son.
Mr Fisher-Turner's brother Joshua Fisher-Turner, 26, and sister Hannah Fisher-Turner, 19, have been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder - which police will allege occurred on or around October 1.
The family lived together, along with another teenage sibling, before the alleged murder occurred.
Matthew's mother died in 2014.
Seven News Perth reporter Jamie Freestone told Radio 6PR the accused made a brief appearance at the Rockingham Magistrates Court.
"When Ernest Albert Fisher had finished appearing, someone in the public gallery yelled out 'you're a despicable being Ernie,'" he said.
"The magistrate then gave a warning for people in the public gallery to be quiet for the next two appearances.
"None of the accused made applications for bail. They have also made applications for legal aid assistance and they've all been remanded in custody to re-appear via video link at the Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court at the end of November."
Matthew was last seen alive on October 1 but his family failed to report his disappearance to police, with concerned friends raising the alarm on October 17.
Acting detective inspector Peter Clements claimed Matthew's family had lied to his friends about his whereabouts.
"[The friends] had been to the house and asked some questions and after that point they decided to call police - it wasn't the family that called police," he said.
"The friends did make enquires over the 17 days [Mr Fisher-Turner was missing], which ultimately led them to have concerns and report him missing to police."
His body was discovered after police issued a search warrant at the family's Cromer Gardens address.
