Qld pharmacist accused of attempted murder

A Queensland pharmacist accused of trying to kill two women by setting a north Brisbane home alight will remain behind bars.

Emergency services were called to the Eveleigh Street home in the suburb of Wooloowin early on Sunday morning following reports of a house fire.

Two women in the house at the time of the fire escaped without injury.

Curtis Shea Mickan, 34, is charged with two counts each of attempted murder and arson, assault occasioning bodily harm, common assault and wilful damage.

Mickan did not appear as the charges were mentioned in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.

Lawyer Tam Elabbasi did not apply bail for Mickan, who was remanded in custody for mention in Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 14.

Outside court, Mr Elabbasi said it was an "unfortunate incident".

"It's going to take some time. It's a totally unfortunate set of circumstances," Mr Elabbasi said.

"There's been some damage. Somebody has lost everything. It's terrible."
