Mr Besim did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody for a filing hearing on April 24 . 'Before he started to pray, (he) was in the house aggressive, he broke (things), like a child. But after when he started to pray he really changed behaviour, 100 per cent,' the father told the ABC. 'Now he was very good, always. Never, never yells, never, never do bad in house. 'He's always nice talking when I see him, but I (do) not see him very much.'
