Hamilton South murder sentencing proceedings

Overview

Legal proceedings are underway in the Newcastle Supreme Court regarding the 2022 murder of 57-year-old Anthony Nugent in Hamilton South.

Prosecutors allege that Mohamad Raad, Tyrone Tuli, and Mohd Azlan Latham Asnan acted with murderous intent as retribution for an alleged fraud involving a fake firearm deal. While the Crown contends the trio entered a premeditated agreement to kill, defense lawyers argue the shooting was an “unplanned, impulsive act.” The hearing is also examining the specific intent of the gunman, Mohamad Raad, at the time of the shooting.

During the proceedings, the victim’s wife provided a statement describing the trauma of witnessing the aftermath and the emotional distress of remaining in the residence where the incident occurred.
