Family of murder victim Min Tae Kim may have to spend Christmas in Australia THE family of murdered South Korean man Min Tae Kim faces the grim prospect of spending Christmas in Brisbane waiting to be allowed to take his remains home. Two of Kim's relatives arrived on Saturday to spend several sombre hours with police and consular officials, discussing the tragedy that befell the aspiring musician. Dressed in black suits and keeping their heads bowed, Kim's brother and another relative arrived three days after police made the grisly discovery of Kim's body in a shallow grave at Algester. They were joined by two Korean Consulate officials who travelled with the pair to the Dutton Park police station at about 11am. Min Tae Kim's family and consular officials arriving at Dutton Park.

The Sunday Mail understands they hope to return to Korea early this week but that hinges on the release of his body after examination by the State Coroner. A Korean-speaking constable was on hand to help Kim's family fully grasp what had happened to the 28-year-old. When the men left the police station, they appeared upset, with one covering his face. Lead detective on the case, Detective Inspector Rod Kemp, followed them out a short time later. On Friday Korean national Sanghyun Hwang, 28, appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court charged with Mr Kim's murder. He has been remanded in custody until his next court appearance on January 20.
