A MAN convicted of fatally stabbing the brother of ex-Hells Angels bikie Ben Geppert is back behind bars after allegedly carrying out a violent home invasion.

Police allege Jarvis Jai Farrier and another man were armed when they broke into a Miami home on Sunday.

The pair allegedly attacked a man inside the home, leaving him with several injuries.

It is not yet confirmed whether Farrier was known to his alleged victim.

He has been charged with one count each of wounding, assault occasioning bodily harm while armed and in company, and burglary in the night while armed and in company.

Farrier has been in custody at the Southport watchhouse since his arrest.

The 22-year-old was not required to appear in person when his case was mentioned for the first time in Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.

Defence lawyer Dan Rawlings, of Rawlings Criminal Law, did not make an application for his client’s bail, saying Farrier was on parole for manslaughter and likely to be subject to a return-to-prison warrant in the coming days.

Acting Magistrate Gary Finger ordered a brief of evidence be disclosed by April 10.

Farrier will be remanded in custody until his next court date on April 27. He will be excused from appearing at the committal mention.

The fresh charges come barely a year after Farrier was sentenced in Brisbane Supreme Court for the manslaughter of 17-year-old Harrison Geppert.

A fight broke out between Mr Geppert and a friend of Farrier’s at Varsity Lakes on September 4, 2019, with the former soon gaining the upper hand.

The court was told Farrier ran in from behind and stabbed Mr Geppert once in the back with a 9cm folding knife. The teenager died at the scene.

It was heard Farrier purchased the weapon months before the stabbing, claiming he was previously robbed and wanted to prevent it happening again.

The Upper Coomera man also wanted to educate others on the dangers of carrying a knife, the court was told.

Farrier was sentenced to nine years’ jail with parole eligibility from September 4 last year, to reflect the 890 days he spent in pre-sentence custody.
