A close-knit community in Melbourne's south-east is in deep sorrow as they mourn the loss of one of their own. The beloved fisherman, Andres Pancho, was tragically taken away from his family and friends after allegedly being murdered at Frankston Pier yesterday morning. The news has left everyone in shock and disbelief.
The police were alerted about the incident at around 6am and were quick to make an arrest. The accused, a 36-year-old man, was taken into custody shortly after and is now facing court. The community is left reeling as they try to make sense of this senseless act of violence.
At the site where Pancho's body was found, there is an outpouring of love and support from both his friends and strangers. Flowers and messages have been laid out to pay respects to the father-of-three. One of the fishermen, Andy Bell, shared with 9News Melbourne that he and his wife felt compelled to come down and show their support. He also mentioned how the once bustling pier is now eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the events that took place just yesterday.
In court today, Forrest Stevenson, the accused, made a brief appearance. The magistrate requested for Stevenson, who is homeless and an amateur artist, to be seen by a nurse. The reason for this was not disclosed. It is believed that Pancho did not know his attacker and that the attack was unprovoked.
Pancho was described as a "mad fisherman" by his friend Glenn Cooper. He loved spending his time at the pier and felt safe there, as it was a peaceful and quiet place. However, the tranquility was shattered yesterday when he was attacked.
The police have returned to the scene and made a significant discovery. A knife was found discarded in a nearby bin and will be examined for forensic evidence to determine if it belongs to the alleged killer. The 36-year-old has been remanded and will face court in November.
In the midst of this tragedy, the community is coming together to support each other. They have also found solace in a WhatsApp channel where they can stay updated on the latest news, celebrity gossip, and sports without any unwanted comments or algorithms. It's a small comfort in a time of great sadness.
