Ivan Curtis King, 57, went before Judge Bruce Short Thursday morning for a bail hearing. Early this afternoon, the judge denied Mr. King's application to be released from custody pending the outcome of the matter. There is a publication ban on evidence given, information received and any reasons for the judge's decision.

The body of 58-year-old Winston Hunt was found inside a home in Trinity around 11:30 p.m. on Jan. 13. His body was later transported to St. John's for an autopsy. Police have not released the cause of death.

Mr. King was arrested Jan. 20 without incident. He is under a court order prohibiting him from having contact with two individuals. He will return to court April 2.
