Indigenous teen's murder case in WA court

Brearley briefly appeared on Wednesday via video-link in the Western Australian Magistrates Court.

Dressed in a green tracksuit, he confirmed his identity from Hakea Prison in Perth's south but said little else.

Lawyer Ben Stanwix told the court the case was ready to proceed to a disclosure committal hearing and asked for a 10-week adjournment, which was granted.

Cassius died in hospital 10 days after he was allegedly violently beaten, triggering an outpouring of grief and anger across the nation.

Brearley was remanded in custody until the matter returns to court on March 29.
