MURDERED: Young Mandurah man Tauri Litchfield. Source: PerthNow
MANDURAH man Tauri Litchfield died from a head injury following a brutal bashing, Perth's Children's Court was told today.
Official details about the sailmaker's death emerged for the first time as the six teenagers accused of his murder appeared in court again.
In a bid to avoid the dramatic events of the last time the six appeared, there was an increased security presence both inside and outside of court.
Officials also made sure both families were seated in separate court rooms to prevent either side from having contact with each other.
Last time members of Mr Litchfield's family and friends were verbally attacked by some of the accused's family as they tried to leave the court.
And while some of the accused's family made inappropriate gestures towards the media (pictured above), both families managed to avoid each other.
Mr Litchfield was found unconscious in a car park on Pinjarra Rd, Mandurah, with severe head injuries in the early hours of St Patrick's Day, March 17.
He was rushed to hospital but died a short time later.
Police allege that Mr Litchfield was brutally bashed as he lay on the ground following a fall.
Six youths, three aged 14 and three aged 15, have been charged with murder.
During proceedings today it was revealed that while a detailed forensic report had yet to be finalised, a supplementary report found the 28-year-old died as a result of a head injury.
The court also heard that three of the accused boys would be seeking bail.
Defence lawyer Simon Freitag told the hearing his client would be applying to be released next week while lawyers for two others said they were also planning to apply for bail.
When concerns were raised about the forensic material, state prosecutor Sean Stocks told the court the case would rely more on eyewitness accounts and testimony than forensics.
During the hearing it was also revealed counsel representing all six boys had technical problems viewing the CCTV footage of the incident.
Children's Court president Judge Denis Reynolds adjourned the matter until August 9. However, a bail hearing for one of the boys will take place next week.
