An Auckland man accused of killing his former partner, whose dismembered body was found in the Waitakere ranges west of Auckland, has appeared briefly in court today.
Brad Callaghan, 32, a structural engineer from Remuera, appeared in Auckland District Court via video-link facing a charge of murdering Carmen Thomas last year.
Callaghan was remanded in custody and will reappear next Monday for a post-committal conference.
