A BREAKFAST of bacon, eggs and hash browns was served up to Cowra’s accused triple axe murderer John Walsh before his appearance in a Deniliquin court yesterday.The police officer in charge of the 69-year-old grandfather, who is alleged to have slain his wife and two young grandchildren on Monday, said he was silent before he faced court charged with their murders.Walsh spoke only when spoken to except to ask in a heavy Scottish accent for a cup of tea, the officer said.He spent most of the morning asleep in a prisoner holding cell inside Deniliquin police station after his capture at a motel in Hay on Monday night.Sources say Walsh also ordered a meal of bacon and eggs at the motel but did not get the chance to eat it prior to his arrest.He did not appear in court until 1pm yesterday when police prosecutor Chris McGoldrick arrived in Deniliquin after a three-hour drive from Griffith.Inside the courthouse, Walsh – wearing only plastic forensic overalls – appeared to struggle to walk up the short flight of stairs from the holding cell.Seven local police officers surrounded him as he sat handcuffed in the dock as he faced court for the first time charged with three counts of murder, that of his grandchildren Kevin Hodges, 7, Jaime Hodges, 5, and his 52-year-old wife, Mabel, and the attempted murder of his daughter, Senior Constable Shelly Walsh.His lawyer, Matthew Lees said he had been instructed not to apply for bail.Walsh lowered his head as registrar Paul Barber read a statement of facts given to him by Mr McGoldrick.“Bail is formally refused. These are serious offences and you have made threats of harm against other people which you are at risk of carrying out if you are released,” Mr Barber said.Mr Barber adjourned the case to Wagga Local Court on Monday and Walsh was led away to be transported to Junee jail.As he left the courthouse, Mr Lees was asked about his client’s state of mind.“He was able to give me sufficiently fluid instructions. I spoke to him only in relation to instructions for today’s appearance … he was properly giving instructions,” he said.
