Indigenous teen Cassius Turvey’s alleged murder ‘not racially motivated’, court hears Prosecutor tells jury ‘it is not the state’s case’ the alleged murder was racially motivated.
Watters said that as Brearley “limped” away, he saw Palmer allegedly strike Cassius in the head area three times with a metal pole taken from a shopping trolley.
He said many people had previously said the alleged murder was racially motivated but they had not “heard all the things you will see and hear”.
Watters alleged that Brearley, who described Cassius as the “fat one” to police, tried to run but the teen had a hold of his clothes and slashed his leg three times with the knife.
