A FRENCH backpacker charged with murdering a man in Broome on Christmas Day last year has requested the court provide an interpreter for his family who will attend his trial.
Thomas Camus, 23, is accused of fatally stabbing Kristopher Eric Dixon, 32, outside the Bungalow Bar.
Mr Dixon, of the mining community of South Hedland, was allegedly involved in a brawl with several people before he was fatally wounded.
Camus appeared in the West Australian Supreme Court via video link from Hakea Prison on Thursday with a French interpreter translating proceedings for him.
The court heard the trial, set for May, could take about four weeks.
A forensic report was recently filed but lawyers are still waiting for the release of CCTV footage.
Camus's lawyer Mara Barone said her client would need an interpreter for his trial and also requested the court provide an interpreter for his family, who do not speak English and will fly to WA for the proceedings.
Justice Lindy Jenkins said she would inquire about the possibility of a second interpreter for the family.
If it was not possible, the defence team would organise its own interpreter, Ms Barone said.
Camus will next appear in court on February 21 for another status conference.
