Brisbane socialite murder case in court

A man charged over the alleged murder of a Brisbane socialite has had his case mentioned in court.

Thomas Chris Lang, a retired American doctor who had been living in New Zealand, was earlier this year charged with the murder of 68-year-old Maureen Boyce who was found dead at her Kangaroo Point apartment in October.

Police allege she died from a single stab wound to the abdomen.

Lang's case was briefly mentioned in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday and was adjourned until February 2.

Crown prosecutors are waiting on medical reports from New Zealand as well as toxicology reports, according to the Nine Network.
