Body in the barrel case in court for first time
THE case of accused teen murderer Zlatko Sikorsky has been mentioned in court for the first time, less than 48 hours after he surrendered to police following a tense stand-off in Alex Heads.
Shailer Park man Zlatko Sikorsky, 34, is accused of murdering 16-year-old Larissa Beilby who was reported missing from Sandgate the day before her body was found in a barrel in the back of a ute.

After a 27-hour stand-off in which Mr Sikorsky was holed up in a unit in Juan St, Alexandra Headland, until 6.30pm Saturday, he was taken into custody.
He is now facing 18 charges including murder, misconduct with a corpse, possessing tainted property, dangerous operation of a vehicle, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and obstructing a police officer.

Mr Sikorsky was not required to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court this morning where Magistrate Matthew McLaughlin adjourned the matter to Beenleigh for a brief of evidence to be prepared.
The case will be mentioned again on September, 3.
Mr Sikorsky's lawyer, Brendan Ryan, has indicated he will fight the charges.

Alexandra Hills man Joseph Dean Geiger, 38, and Palmwoods woman Tracy Ann Thomson, 40, have each been charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
They are due to appear in court later today.
