Roberto Urbano accused of stabbing Melbourne delivery driver to death
A 51-year-old man accused of murdering HungryPanda delivery driver Feng Jianming, 47, disrupted his court hearing.
Roberto Urbano was arrested in Melbourne's CBD on Friday night after allegedly stabbing Feng Jianming, a delivery rider for HungryPanda, who was collecting a food order. At his video appearance at Melbourne Magistrates' Court, Urbano interrupted prosecutors.
When the magistrate muted his audio, Urbano stood on a stool and exposed himself on the video feed before the magistrate cut the transmission. The court ordered forensic photography of injuries on Urbano's right hand and an oral swab for DNA testing.
Prosecutors asked for 16 weeks to prepare evidence. Feng died at the scene despite efforts to revive him.
He had worked in Australia nine years to support two children in China. His wife learned of his death from a video on WeChat.
