Whyalla man, 51, in court charged with murder of grandmother Dianne Rogan The husband and son of Dianne Rogan leave the Port Augusta Magistrates Court after attending the brief hearing involving the man accused of her murder. A WHYALLA man has appeared in court charged with the alleged murder of grandmother Dianne Rogan. The man, 51, faced the Port Augusta Magistrates Court after being driven from Whyalla by detectives. His name and identity was suppressed until Friday. The man was remanded in custody. Major Crime detectives arrested him yesterday - 72 hours after Mrs Rogan's body was found in the backyard of her Sharp St home late on Friday morning. Ms Rogan's family - including husband Kevin Rogan - attended court but remained silent during the brief hearing. The accused man did not look at Mrs Rogan's family as he stood in the dock. The police prosecutor initially sought a longer suppression order on any information that identified him. He said identifying the suspect would taint pending interviews with potential witnesses and put the accused's family - and that of the victim's - wellbeing at risk. Magistrate Clive Kitchen described his reasons as "bland" and instead ordered an intermin suppression order be placed on the identity of the accused to allow for new suppression submissions to be given by 5pm tomorrow. The suppression order will then be reviewed when the matter returns to court on Friday. Police yesterday said the charged man was known to Mrs Rogan and her death was not the result of a random attack. Police Commissioner Gary Burns today praised detectives for making an arrest within 48 hours of the death being declared a major crime on Saturday night. The response from local police and Major Crime detectives was outstanding. It was a real team effort," he said. I'd also like to pass on my gratitude to Forensic Sciences of South Australia (FSSA) who prioritised our requests to analyse forensic material. The efforts from FSSA certainly helped us achieve a quick arrest. It's also important to express thanks to the people of Whyalla for their patience and assistance. Murder anywhere is bad enough, but when it's in a smaller community, like Whyalla, the impact is felt across the whole town. A family member found Mrs Rogan's body last Friday in the backyard of the Sharp St home she shared with her husband, Kevin. Mr Rogan - also well-known in Whyalla as a wedding celebrant, driving instructor and employment industry professional - was on a holiday in the UK - where he attended the first Ashes Test - with his adult son Jack when he learnt of his wife's death.
