An extradition hearing for a former Catholic monk accused of child abuse at a Scottish school has been adjourned until next month.
A magistrate in Australia allowed Father Denis “Chrysostom” Alexander more time to make a bail application.
He has always denied allegations that he abused boys at the former Fort Augustus Abbey boarding school in the Highlands.
He was remanded in custody with the next court hearing due on 13 February.
The magistrate is then expected to decide whether or not there will be a contested extradition hearing
