Dane Ronald Pyke and Blaise Christopher Baddeley are accused of Dean Jupp’s death at his house.

They pleaded that they are not guilty of murder and other offenses, including aggravated theft, aggravated armed robbery, theft, theft and giving illegal fire on the property.

Nikiya Lee Coleman, who met Mr. Pyke’s accusation at that time, said at the Supreme Court of Burnie that he was 18 when he went with the two accused men and another man named Mitchell Flanigan on the property on January 23, 2022.

The jury showed evidence of alleged violence

The trial has been ongoing in the last two weeks, the jury has shown evidence from police and criminal experts who investigated the alleged crime scene.

The prosecutor of the crown, John Ransom, told the court during the opening statements that the violence was used to overcome the resistance of Mr. Jupp and that he was tied with an extension cord.

Criminal pathologist Christopher Lawrence agreed with Mr. Ransom’s suggestion that Mr. Jupp’s fatal injuries could have been caused by someone who was on his chest.

Dr Lawrence said that Mr. Jupp had injuries that could have been caused by the fact that he was hit with a change key.

The jury was also displayed graphic and disturbing images of Mr. Jupp’s body, which seemed bloody and seriously injured.

Mrs. Coleman told the jury, she and the three men smoked methamphetamine, known as Ice, along that day.

She said she became aware of a plan to steal weapons from the property to, while in a car on the road there.

Mrs. Coleman, 21 years ago, told the court that the three men also covered her faces and wore gloves when they went into her property.

But, she said, and took off her shoes because they were white and “didn’t want to dirty them.”

She told the court that she realized that there was someone at home at the property, after Mr. Pyke and Mr. Baddeley threw a window on a caravan at the property and saw someone running to the gate.

She also said she tied her legs while Mr. Baddeley tied the cord around her neck, and then dragged her back to the alley.

The court showed photos with Mr. Jupp’s body, where he was found against a pork pen on the property, with a long extension cord next to him.

Mrs. Coleman said he does not know the answers to many of Mr. Ransom’s questions, and the prosecutor suggested that he were on several occasions.

At one point, he played a video interview that Mrs. Coleman gave to the police in March 2022, in which she said she saw Mr. Baddeley hit Mr. Jupp behind the head with a change channel.

“I hit her behind her head … only once, but it was bad,” she said in the video.

He also referred to someone who “hit and hit, hitting and hitting Mr. Jupp during that interview.

However, she told the court on Monday that she lied during that interview to try to stay smoothly and that she had not seen anyone walk Mr. Jupp.

Mr. Ransom suggested that he stayed in court, and what he said to the police three years ago was the truth, but Mrs. Coleman denied this.

Cleaned machine to remove fingerprints

Mrs. Coleman told the court that she and Mr. Pyke returned to her house at East Devonport that night.

She said she woke up early the next morning to find Mr. Pyke Trez and suffering.

She told the court that she then started cleaning the car they had driven, to remove the fingerprints and that Mr. Pyke was arrested the next day.

She also said she was threatened with violence at that time, if she told the police about someone else’s involvement in the incident.

The trial in front of justice Tamara Jago continues.
