Overview

• Kirk Marsden headbutted Michael O’Neill in The Gate Bar and Grill during a dispute over a gold bracelet, leaving O’Neill with a chipped tooth.
• Prosecutors say the defendants fetched a metal suspension rod from their vehicle and waited outside instead of going home to plan their attack.
• Court was told Michael O’Neill first drove the two-tonne Land Cruiser towards Mr Marsden before James Ward reversed over him, crushing his pelvis.
• CCTV footage shown in court captured Mr Marsden returning to smash the vehicle’s window with a pool cue before being struck again and later dying of extensive internal injuries.
• All three defendants deny murder and intend to argue self-defense or that the collision was accidental.
