Blue Mts murder accused refused bail

A man charged with the murder of a 34-year-old man in the Blue Mountains has been refused bail.

Henry Walcott, 28, was arrested at a house in Kings Road, Leura, on Thursday after the body of Cameron Bradley was found on the premises.

Police will allege Walcott, who lives in Petersham, killed Bradley about midday on Thursday.

Walcott's lawyer did not apply for bail in Penrith Court on Friday, and it was formally refused.

Walcott, who appeared via audiovisual link, twitched and rocked in his chair during proceedings.

He is due to appear again at Penrith Court on January 20.
