Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Dec, 2014 12:50 PM

VANCOUVER — The brother of a man who was found guilty of first-degree murder in the so-called Surrey Six case remains in custody after his first court appearance.

Justin Haevischer, 28, appeared in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday morning on a charge of accessory after the fact to the 2007 murders.

He was remanded in custody until his next court date on Jan. 7 and was advised to seek a lawyer and make a bail application.

Haevischer was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant and was arrested Tuesday at Edmonton International Airport after a passenger caused a disturbance on a plane.

He's accused of helping his brother Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston escape after the pair killed six men in a Surrey apartment.

Cody Haevischer and Johnston were both found guilty of conspiracy and six counts of first-degree murder earlier this year and sentenced to life in prison.
