A police officer denied that he had spotted a man convicted of a 2011 shooting in security camera footage as the trial of a second man continued in the Supreme Court.

Devon Hewey has denied charges of both premeditated murder and using a firearm to commit an indictable act in connection with the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Randy Robinson.

Detective Constable Warren Bundy told the court on Wednesday that he had reviewed CCTV footage from the Mid Atlantic Boat Club in 2020 as part of a review of “cold cases”, which included both unsolved cases and those under appeal.

Returning to the stand yesterday, he accepted that he had actually reviewed the footage in 2022, citing a 2023 e-mail in which it was said the footage was too grainy to identify anyone.

However, he accepted he had said in a conversation that he was “sure” Jay Dill was seen in the recording.

Mr Bundy said that while he believed someone in the footage may have been Dill during his first viewing, Detective Constable Christopher Sabean, who was reviewing the recording with him, said that the person was not Dill.

He said he later reviewed the footage again, comparing it with comments made by Dill in a police interview.

Mr Bundy said: “In the interview Jay Dill described his actions and he described what he was wearing and it didn’t match that person.”

Under questioning by Mr Hewey, Mr Bundy also accepted that a police complaint had been made against him by Eron Hill, who is assisting Mr Hewey in the trial, because he had refused to take part in a meeting with Mr Hill.

Mr Bundy said: “It was a frivolous complaint. Nothing came of it. I’m not obliged to have meetings with Mr Hill. He’s not a lawyer.”

Asked about the complaint in re-examination, Mr Bundy said that he had refused to meet Mr Hill after an incident in which Mr Hill had covertly recorded an informal conversation outside the Serious Crime Unit and posted it on social media.

He added that the conversation contained sensitive information and, as a result of the posting, protection measures had to be put in place at Westgate.

Mr Bundy said: “After it was posted, [Mr Hill] was making requests for us to see him and I wanted nothing to do with him.”

He later added: “I don’t want anything to do with this man. He is not to be trusted.”

Mr Bundy also said that the Mid Atlantic Boat Club was a two to three-minute drive away from the scene of the fatal shooting on Border Lane North, and that Mr Hewey’s residence was even closer to the murder scene.

He also reiterated that neither Dill nor Mr Hewey were identified in the video footage.

Portions of the CCTV were shown to the jury, with Mr Bundy pointing out the individual he had thought might be Dill.

The court also heard evidence that police spoke with staff at the boat club in 2011 and were told that Dill and Mr Hewey had been there on March 31 sometime between 8pm and 8.30pm.

Police were told the men had one drink and left but those who spoke to police were not willing to make a witness statement.

The court previously heard that Mr Robinson was shot while walking along Border Lane North on March 31, 2011. A witness described seeing two people drive up on a black Honda Scoopy.

Dill was previously convicted of the killing, with prosecutors stating that he was the gunman while Hewey drove the motorcycle.

Prosecutors described the fatal shooting as a “gang hit”, stating that while Mr Robinson was not involved in gang activity, two of his cousins were.

The court previously heard testimony from Mr Bundy who recalled a search conducted at the defendant’s residence at 7 Palmetto Road in April 2011.

Items seized during the search, which Mr Bundy said included Mr Hewey’s bedroom, included a bulletproof vest, jewellery, mobile phones and a motorcycle key.

Ariel Anternette Cole, Mr Hewey’s mother, said that on the day of the shooting she received a call from her son who asked her to let the dog out because “it was getting dark”.

She said the defendant returned home with his friend, Jay Dill, at about 9pm with black helmets in their hands and police arrived to carry out a search later that night.

Jurors heard earlier about activities involving phone connections between devices attributed to Mr Hewey, Dill and another man, Christopher Parris, between March 31 and April 1, 2011.

The trial before Puisne Judge Alan Richards continues.
