The man allegedly sedated his sick stepfather in the months before his death, and was motivated by the potential financial gain, a court has heard.
A Gold Coast man who allegedly sedated his sick stepfather in the months before his death was motivated by potential financial gain, and later offered to pay $100,000 to have the investigating detectives killed, a court has heard.
Golem also had brain surgery after an injury as a child, the court heard, and might have had an intellectual disability, although nothing that would prevent him giving evidence.Golem’s mother, Nemes’ wife, also lived in the house, which Nemes owned. She has not been charged. Under cross-examination, Detective Senior Constable Marie Adams told the court police conducted a second interview with Golem after he had told the undercover operative to “take a hit out” on her and her colleague, by offering $100,000 to have them killed.Adams said Golem had also made allegations to the undercover operative that he used a sedative on his stepfather.
In response, Longhurst argued that not only was there no evidence that his client sedated Nemes, the evidence suggested he did not sedate Nemes in the way he told the undercover operative.Adams later told the court that, from the interview with police, it was clear Golem knew Nemes was “going to die” and “that it was all financial based”.
