His case was heard in the Townsville Magistrates Court yesterday but Mr Sore did not appear.

Mr Sore’s defence solicitor Kevin Amantea told Magistrate Ken Taylor that he was still analysing a lot of the evidence.

“I did receive some forensic material that I still need to go through,” he said.

Mr Amantea did not apply for bail and asked for the case to be adjourned until next year.

The Mt Isa man’s case will return to the court on February 3, 2021.
