DEFENCE counsel for the brothers charged with the murder of Bordertown man Rex Court in a street brawl last year have been granted another adjournment for continuing negotiations.
Dominic, 20, and Jordan, 24, Von Stanke are charged with the murder of Mr Court, a 32-year-old father of three, which occurred over a year ago during a fight on Commercial Street East at around 9pm on May 13, 2017.
They both appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court yesterday for committal hearings.
The matter was adjourned to answer the charge on August 14.
The pair had been on home detention bail since December after it was granted by Judge Nicholson on strict conditions and only if a guarantee of $40,000 was lodged to the court.
The prosecution strongly opposed the pair’s release as it had managed to have three previous bail applications rejected.
They again argued the allegations were far too serious and the proposed residences were unsuitable.
Justice Nicholson said the strict conditions should alleviate the risk of further offending.
The court previously heard it allegedly took the men just 39 seconds to spear tackle Mr Court, throw him to the ground “with a cracking sound” and inflict ultimately fatal kicks and stomps.
The prosecution said security camera and phone footage showed the men arriving on the scene in a Ford Territory before allegedly committing the vicious attack.
The defence counsel for the pair has indicated it will continue to explore self-defence as a legitimate defence to the charge the men are facing.
A 15-year-old boy is charged with assault causing serious harm in relation to the same incident.
