A forensic pathologist told a Supreme Court jury that a young father was likely to have been fatally shot from several feet away.

Christopher Milroy spoke during the trial of Devon Hewey, who has denied murdering 22-year-old Randy Robinson and using a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

Dr Milroy conducted a post-mortem examination on Mr Robinson and told jurors that the young father was shot in the head and chest on March 31, 2011.

He conducted the exam on April 2 that year and concluded that shots were fired “more than one or two feet away” from Mr Robinson and that two bullets were found near his body after the incident.

The expert also said that Mr Robinson did not appear to have any natural disease and the gunshots were the only cause of death.

Jurors earlier heard from police officer Michelle Freeman, who photographed and recovered items such as a bloody cap and mobile phone charger from the crime scene.

Mr Robinson was shot on Border Lane North by two men riding a black Honda Scoopy.

Prosecutors allege that Jay Dill, who was already convicted of killing Mr Robinson, and Mr Hewey were on the bike in question, which police found next to a vehicle owned by Dill after the murder.

The trial, before Puisne Judge Alan Richards, continues.
