Missing NSW man's murder suspect in court Three people were arrested over the alleged murder of a Sydney man reported missing two years ago. A MAN charged with the murder of a Sydney man who's been missing for two years has reacted angrily in a courtroom after being refused bail. Elesterios Santakis, 38, was one of three people including his mother arrested on Thursday over the alleged murder of missing Punchbowl man Elisha 'Sam' Karmas, whose body has not been found. Santakis was charged with murder and represented himself at Burwood Local Court, where he called the prosecution case against him a "circumstantial case" and said the evidence against him was obtained illegally. "I have never posed as a threat to the community and my record shows that," Santakis told the court during a bail application, where he argued he needed to be out of jail to prepare for his own legal case. Magistrate Christopher Longley refused bail, saying the prosecution had said Santakis had "significant motivation." Santakis reacted angrily from the dock and at one stage wanted to know what had happened to his mother, who was arrested along with him. "I want to know where my mother is," he said. Santakis's mother, 61, was charged with being an accessary after the fact to murder and granted conditional bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on October 21. Andrew Woods, 36, is also charged with murder and will apply for bail in the same court on Friday, representing himself. Police say the disappearance of Mr Karmas, a 52-year-old husband and father, was completely out of character and the homicide squad launched Strike Force Flaggy soon afterwards. Mr Karmas' wife Jenny reported him missing from their Punchbowl home on August 12, 2011.
