It's emerged a man charged over the murder of Glen Smith at Bolton Point was due to be sentenced this week for possessing a knife and having goods in custody.
Paul Russell Newburn is accused of stabbing Mr Smith multiple times with a home-made sword after he intervened during an altercation in Leumeah Place on Sunday night.
The 32-year-old was arrested at the Belmont McDonalds on Monday night after a major manhunt.
Fairfax reports Newburn sobbed as he faced court yesterday charged with murder.
He didn't enter a plea and will remain in custody, with the case adjourned to Belmont Local Court on March 20.
