Overview
- Brodie Jake Dewar, 20, is charged with grievous bodily harm over the December 27 Northbridge incident that left political strategist Tim Picton in a critical condition.
- Police laid a separate charge over an alleged December 25 assault in Kalamunda, described in court as an act or omission causing bodily harm or danger.
- Prosecutors played CCTV from both incidents and a video they say was uploaded to Snapchat after the Christmas Day attack.
- Magistrate Mark Millington characterised the strikes as unprovoked “coward punches,” revoked bail, and listed the next court date for February 6.
- The court heard charges could be upgraded as homicide squad detectives continue reviewing the evidence, while Picton remains in hospital with severe brain injuries.
