A man charged with murdering an Indigenous teenager due to broken car windows has refuted claims of visiting a co-defendant’s house with a shotgun in the aftermath of the incident.

According to 24-year-old Jack Steven James Brearley, the prosecution’s accusations are incorrect, as he maintains that he did not hit Cassius Turvey with a metal rod in Perth’s eastern suburbs on October 13, 2022.

He has testified before a jury, asserting it was his co-defendant, 29-year-old Brodie Lee Palmer, who delivered the fatal blows that resulted in the death of the 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy in the hospital ten days afterward.

His father replied: “They don’t do that in Australia, mate.”

Brearley’s father tells his son to tell the truth when he speaks to his solicitor and that his co-accuseds’ “lies will come unstuck and they are trying to save their own skins”.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Brearley can be heard saying, clearly crying.

His father: “Stay strong … It’ll be OK, buddy.”

Brearley: “I’m sick of this.”

He also spoke to his brother, telling him “I didn’t do s***, mate”.

Brearley also told his father he didn’t get out of a car that the prosecution said was driven by Palmer to the location where Cassius was allegedly beaten.

He said Palmer and another person who is not accused of the murder got out and were away from the vehicle for about two minutes when the incident is alleged to have occurred.

“It’ll come out, mate … I’m right there with you every step,” his father said in response.

Brearley: “Dad, I love you.”

His father: “I love you too.”

Porter raised his voice at Brearley, saying the phone call demonstrated his extraordinary capacity to lie.

“I agree but you need to stop yelling at me,” Brearley replied.

Porter also showed a still image of Brearley outside the home he shared with Gilmore and her family.

He told the jury it showed Brearley holding a pole in his hand, which he denied.
