Isaac Zane Cubby charged with murder of 75-year-old Toowoomba photographer Robert Brown

The 18-year-old has been held in custody since his arrest for murder in February. His case may now be progressing:

A Toowoomba teenager charged with murder arising from the death of photographer Robert Brown has taken the next step to having the case heard.

Isaac Zane Cubby was not required to be in Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Friday when his charges were mentioned but was represented by MacDonald Law solicitor Ryan McCullough.

Mr McCullough said the police material had been handed to Barrister Steve Kissick who was working through the large brief of evidence before the case went to the next stage in court.

Mr Cubby was charged with murder arising from Mr Brown’s death who police allege was pushed from behind as he stood at a taxi rank outside Grand Central shopping centre on February 6.

Mr Brown, 75, fell onto the road and died in hospital having never regained consciousness.

Mr Cubby has not as yet been required to enter any plea to the charge of murder or to some 25 other charges some related to the incident and some unrelated.

Magistrate Kay Phillipson remanded Mr Cubby in custody and adjourned the case to a later date in November with the defendant’s appearance excused at that mention.

Eventually, if committed to stand trial on the charge of murder, Mr Cubby will be committed up to the Supreme Court for the matter to be heard.
