Isaac Batten, 23, sat quietly in the prisoner dock of the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday morning, charged with burglary and assault, less than 24 hours after his brother died in the city's south.

Defence solicitor Nick Hanly accepted his client had gone to a home on Metropole Street in Robertson with his brother and another man to claim $3400 owed in a drug debt.

Police were called to the address, near Sunnybank, about 2pm on Sunday, where they found Mr Batten’s 21-year-old brother dead, with stab wounds.
