A 45-year-old man was charged yesterday morning with the murder of Keith Gordon.

Clinton Smith, of no known address, appeared in Magistrates' Court to hear the charge, although he was not required to enter a plea as the matter must be heard by the Supreme Court.

The incident allegedly happened on June 10.

Magistrate Maxanne Anderson remanded Mr Smith in custody until August 1, when the matter is set to appear before the Supreme Court.

Mr Gordon, 70, was the son of the late labour and civil rights leader E. F. Gordon, a National Hero, and the brother of former premier Dame Pamela Gordon and former MP Patricia Gordon-Pamplin.
