Overview
- Dewar, 20, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court via video as a manslaughter charge was filed over the December 27 incident.
- The earlier grievous bodily harm charge is expected to be withdrawn at next week’s hearing.
- The matter was adjourned to February 13 for a bail application, when the magistrate will review fuller footage the defence says provides context.
- Dewar remains in custody after his bail was revoked on January 16 over a separate case, with the magistrate calling him an inherent risk to the community.
- Police also allege he knocked a 40-year-old man unconscious outside the Kalamunda Hotel on Christmas Day and posted the aftermath to Snapchat; court vision in the Picton case shows a single punch that left him prone and he later died.
