A coronial inquest into the deaths of two men at Alva Beach, south of Townsville, hears both men died from knife wounds that pierced their hearts.

"I have diagnosed Dean Webber as suffering post traumatic stress disorder which is a severe disorder," Dr Likely told the court.

"It's worse than recurrence or relapse ... his symptoms will deteriorate very severely and very rapidly." "I maintain that he will suffer severe trauma if he is required to give evidence," Dr Likely told the court. "It's a good idea but it would be ideal if the questions were provided in advance rather than spontaneously," he said.The coroner will hear further submissions on the application to exclude Mr Webber from legal representatives in the courtroom before making a decision.
