Rock icon Angry Anderson’s son turned his bloodied head to a passer-by and begged “help me, help me, help me”, before being stomped on again and then did not move or make any further sound, a court has heard.

A witness has described in court the dramatic final moments of a “desperate” Liam Anderson, lying face down, his head and torso covered in blood while being beaten by his best friend, Matthew Flame.

The trial of Mr Flame, who has pleaded not guilty to murder, has heard “there was no dispute that Mr Flame killed his friend (but) … when he killed Liam Anderson, he was labouring under a severe psychiatric illness, schizophrenia”.

The trial has also heard Liam’s last words about Mr Flame before walking off with him, saying “he’s my best friend, I would never leave my best friend”.

The witness to the assault on Mr Anderson, American tourist Trevor Buchert, told the NSW Supreme Court he came upon the scene on a morning walk to check out surf conditions.

It was around 6am on Sunday, November 4, 2018, at Queenscliff on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, when Mr Buchert at first heard grunting.

Then he saw Mr Flame on top of Liam, who was lying partially in a small park called Pavilion Reserve and partially on the concrete footpath.

“I … have seen a male standing up and kicking another male who was lying … face down half of the pathway, half on the grass,” Mr Buchert said in a police statement read out in the court.

 
If one take drugs including alcohol, in my opinion, as a result of that decision "own" any crime committed whether they are of sound mind or character whilst under the influence or incurred due to that decision.

This would simplify court processes and not have to listen to "but I'm a meth head, I'm brain damaged or I was under roid rage"

I watched an interview with Angry and his Daughter recently, it was one of Andrew Denton's in depth ones he does. Very sad to see.


The only reason this young man was killed was because he was trying to make sure his mate did not hurt himself, sadly it turned nasty and his mate lost it. Says a lot for Liam and what sort of person he was, a grim reminder for all of us perhaps.

As you said, where does it stop. Mathew Flame took the drugs (supposadley over 10 MDMA Tablets) and freaked out. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. That means very little to the Anderson family and friends who now have lost a loved one.

It’s the equivalent to saying it wasn’t my fault, the car was going too fast to stop.
No, if you choose to speed, you pay the consequences.
