Stepson Left Body to Decay | Brisbane News
Description
Nikola Golem faces a nine-year sentence for letting his stepfather’s body decay for over a year in their Gold Coast home — a chilling case where a man with serious health issues was left to die after a fall, while Golem lied to his mentally unwell mother and deceived his daughter, delaying help until police finally intervened. Despite pleading guilty to manslaughter and interfering with a corpse, Golem’s defense claimed he was terrified of upsetting his mother and had cognitive impairments — but the court heard he loved his stepfather, who had refused medical treatment. With time already served, Golem could be paroled next month, leaving the family reeling from years of deception and tragedy.
