A man accused of killing his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend and shredding part of his body inside a woodchipper near Gympie allegedly called the woman minutes after and told her "it's done", a jury has heard.

Gregory Roser is on trial in the Supreme Court having pleaded not guilty to the murder of Bruce Saunders in November 2017.

On Wednesday, Mr Koenig continued giving evidence against Mr Roser, telling the court about the night Mr Saunders died after the three men finished working.

"I turned around and had a look and [Mr Saunders] was lying on the ground," he said.

"Greg was there with the bar … and he struck him a couple more times on the head

Mr Koenig told the court that shortly after Mr Saunders died, Mr Roser called Ms Graham and said "it was done" before handing the phone to Mr Koenig and yelling out "Bruce, Bruce what have you done".

"He passed the phone to me, and he started screaming … I said [to Ms Graham] Bruce had gone through the machine," he said.

Mr Koenig told the court before Mr Saunders' death, Ms Graham had asked him to kill another former partner and "make it look like a trucking accident".

"Because he had a lot of superannuation money … She was a beneficiary of it," he said.

Mr Koenig testified that he "just agreed with it to keep her happy" but had no intention of following through.

"I didn't do anything, he's still alive today," he said.

The trial continues.



What kind of people are they ?

Bruce wanted a new woman in his life. But his quest for love ended in a woodchipper

Instead of a tragic accident, investigating officers allegedly discovered a murder plot.

7news.com.au

Saunders was a man who needed a woman in his life, one friend said.

After his first wife’s death and a second marriage failed, Saunders was “desperately seeking a new life partner”.

When he met Sharon Graham, he believed he had found love again.


Saunders told everyone, including his estranged wife Bernadette, that he was determined to win Graham back.

“Once you were in Bruce’s life, you were in Bruce’s life for good,” Bernadette Rogers told the court.

“He was sensitive, loving, very generous. He would do anything for anyone.”

So when Graham asked Saunders to help clear her friend’s property with Koenig and Roser, he agreed - even if it meant juggling his work as a butcher.

He even paid for the woodchipper hire.

‘A really dangerous machine’: woodchipper murder trial played audio from night police called to scene

Queensland officers were told Gregory Lee Roser tried to save Bruce Saunders when he discovered friend’s legs dangling out of woodchipper in late 2017

www.theguardian.com

Queensland police were told Gregory Lee Roser tried to save Bruce Saunders when he discovered his friend’s legs dangling out of a woodchipper, a court has been told.

Police audio from the night officers attended the property was played in the Brisbane supreme court on Friday.
“Don’t know what happened, it happened so quick, eh … oh my God, I just can’t believe it,” Roser told Det Sgt Christopher Duhig.
Roser described Saunders as a good little worker but claimed his friend had been mucking around near the chipper.

“All day we were into him about it. You just can’t tell him, eh. You couldn’t tell him anything,” he says in the audio recording. “Every time you looked around he was trying to shove things in the chipper and I was like ‘no stay away from it, Pete and I can handle it’. It’s a really dangerous machine … it chews it up really quick.”

Roser said in his police statement read in court that Saunders looked inexperienced around a chipper and he believed it was the first time he had used one.

And the day after his death, Graham had allegedly produced Mr Saunders' will, saying he had "left everything to her".

How horrible!

In recordings played in court, Gregory Roser can also be heard saying he ‘didn’t panic’ when he was questioned by police

www.theguardian.com

In recordings played in court on Wednesday, Roser, Graham and Koenig can be heard whispering about the incident and subsequent investigation. The recordings came from hours of audio recorded by police listening devices planted in a home in Nambour, on the Sunshine Coast.


I think they were aware that the police had probably put bugs in, and this conversation was meant for a certain audience.

Amongst other things, Ms Graham says that their stories have to all be the same. And that Roser should not have said that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Soon after connecting online, Gregory Lee Roser says a woman he hardly knew asked him to kill a man he hadn’t met.

Months later, Roser helped feed Bruce Saunders’ body into a woodchipper, a court has heard.

But Roser has told a Brisbane Supreme Court jury that he did not kill Mr Saunders, instead pointing the finger at a “nasty, murderous” woman and a man allegedly with Mafia connections.

To show police he was upset after a woodchipper death, Gregory Lee Roser thought of his dead mother, a court has heard.

Roser, 63, and Sharon Graham, 61, have pleaded not guilty to murder after Bruce Saunders died while working on a property north of Brisbane in November 2017.

The jury has retired to consider its verdict in week five of Roser's trial before Justice Martin Burns in the Brisbane Supreme Court.

A jury has told the judge presiding over the murder trial of Gregory Lee Roser they cannot reach a verdict, but have been instructed to take more time.

 

[minusfour]

So was the jury only considering for a few hours before declaring that couldn't reach a verdict? I hope that, with time, they may manage to do so.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

The article said they'd been deliberating for close to 11 hours since Tuesday afternoon until they were sent home on Thursday about 4pm.
I presume they'll continue tomorrow, Friday.

Not sure what happens if they still can't reach a verdict.

"She has that effect on men." That's what a jury was told about a woman accused of getting her boyfriend to murder her ex. Bruce Saunders died four years ago near Gympie, his body found in a woodchipper.

I don't get the attraction from looking at any of her photos ?

It likely was WHAT she was doing that had that effect on men.
