Man murdered while having his morning

walk in North Adelaide

April 2025 A man accused of murdering 54-year-old Aaron Stahlhut while he was on his morning walk in North Adelaide has been remanded in custody under a mental health order. Rylie Lewis Everson-Clare, 20, appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday after being arrested late on Sunday night and charged with the murder of Mr Stahlhut, of Marden in Adelaide’s inner north-east. Defence lawyer Jeff Powell, for Mr Everson-Clare, told the court his client would not be making an application for release on bail. A police prosecutor asked the court to remand Mr Everson-Clare under Section 269X of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act — and for a report into his mental competence at the time of his alleged offending to be prepared. On Sunday, Detective Inspector Fraser Huntley said three members of the public found Mr Stahlhut reportedly collapsed on a walking path at Brougham Gardens at 7:35am, and appealed to anyone with CCTV from the area to contact police. Police said Mr Stahlhut had left on his usual walk from Walkerville through North Adelaide before he was found at the park between Brougham Place and King William Road. Paramedics started CPR at the scene before the man was rushed to the hospital where he died. Mr Everson-Clare will next appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court in August.
