An 87-year-old man is ordered to stand trial for murder related to the death of a police informant west of Brisbane more than 60 years ago, according to multiple Australian outlets. The case is described as one of the country’s oldest cold cases. The man faces a charge of murder in connection with the informant’s death during the period when the alleged events occurred, and the matter proceeds after the court determines there is enough evidence for the case to be heard at trial. The reports do not provide further substantive details about the circumstances of the original killing, the investigation, or the evidence presented in the lead-up to the committal. All outlets present the same core development: the age of the accused, the murder charge, the informant being a police source, and the location and timing of the death west of Brisbane more than six decades earlier.
