Overview
- Giving evidence, the father launched profane outbursts at counsel assisting Kate Juhasz and accused her of degrading him.
- He denied assaulting the children’s mother or the boys and rejected suggestions he was an alcoholic.
- Phone-call audio played in court captured him swearing at the children and telling them to shut up.
- Police testified they found the burned boys crying on a couch and the father nearby in another house showering with a cigarette, appearing dazed and showing little concern.
- The grandmother recounted a loud bang and repeated Triple Zero calls, and earlier evidence included the surviving child’s disclosures blaming his father; the inquest continues without findings.
