Marcus Stanford, the twin brother of accused killer Vincent Stanford, will be extradited to NSW. He is expected to be charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder over Stephanie Scott‘s death in Leeton last April.
He told the court he did not know anything about the warrant for his arrest, and that he had not spoken to a lawyer.
When asked if there was any reason why he should return to Leeton, he said: “Never been there, so I wouldn’t need to return.”
He is to appear at Sydney Central Local Court on Thursday.
