Double murder trial perth

Mr Whalley said forensic examinations of many of the items seized in the case were found to have Mr Fawcett's DNA on them, including the drink bottles and a pair of "distinctive" shorts found in the main bedroom of Ms Collins's apartment. Mr Fawcett has pleaded not guilty to the charges, with his lawyer Simon Freitag SC telling the court that while his client denied murdering Ms Collins, he did admit he was responsible for Mr Johnson's death.

Mr Freitag said the incident unfolded after Mr Fawcett heard a commotion in Ms Collins's unit, and when he went to investigate, Mr Johnson entered the apartment. Mr Freitag said Mr Fawcett maintained he did not kill Ms Collins, saying there was no obvious reason why he would have wanted her dead and describing their relationship as "a friendly, neighbourly" one.

The trial is expected to run for three weeks and Mr Freitag said he expected his client would give evidence when the defence case began. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work.
