The ten-day trial of the man accused of murdering bottle shop worker Declan Laverty has begun in Darwin, with CCTV from inside the store played to the court.
Keith Kerinauia is on trial for the alleged murder of Darwin bottle shop worker Declan Laverty , who died after a stabbing incident in March 2023.
The man accused of Mr Laverty's death, Keith Kerinauia, has pleaded not guilty to murder over the stabbing, with his legal team set to argue he acted in self-defence when he stabbed the victim several times during the confrontation.More than a dozen witnesses are expected to give evidence over the coming fortnight with the jury expected to be shown numerous CCTV clips, photos from the scene, and forensic evidence.
Mr Aust said Mr Kerinauia was "agitated" and threatened to stab Mr Laverty and his co-worker, before running to his car and returning moments later with a knife, which he said witnesses described as being "the length of a ruler".
