Jonathan Dick, who is charged with killing his brother with a samurai sword in a shopping centre car park, pleads not guilty to murder by way of mental impairment.
A man charged with killing his brother with a samurai sword in a shopping centre car park has pleaded not guilty to murder by way of mental impairment.Victoria's Supreme Court heard Mr Dick has paranoid schizophrenia and believed the killing of his brother was "predestined"
The 42-year-old is accused of murdering his younger brother, David, outside an elevator at Doncaster Shopping Centre, in Melbourne's east, in 2017. "He told me he thought that after he killed his brother, he would be transported to the future so he wouldn't have to go to jail." Police were unable to find Mr Dick, who went on the run only to reappear more than a year later in the early hours of August 23, 2018.
Mr Dick fled again but re-emerged almost a year later, in 2019, when he was spotted by Mr Cammarata in a multi-level car park near Flinders Street in Melbourne's CBD.
