A Gold Coast councillor accused of murdering his stepfather must explain to the state government why he should not be suspended from his elected position.
Acting Queensland premier Steven Miles said he was sending a letter to Ryan Donald Bayldon-Lumsden, 30, to show cause why he should not be suspended with pay as he awaits trial for allegedly murdering Robert Malcolm Lumsden, 58, at the family’s Arundel home on 23 August.
