Teen left gardener to die, murder trial told

Prosecutor Jim Pearce told the jury the young man, 18, and two other young men bashed Tuyet Van Do, 59, to death outside his caravan at a Waterloo Corner market garden in northern Adelaide in November 2010.

"They probably went there to break into some of the sheds on the property. Whatever the reason for their visit, they were no doubt disturbed by Mr Do," Mr Pearce said.

"In the confrontation that followed, Mr Do was beaten to death. "He was beaten with a length of wood, he was beaten with a shovel, he was punched and he was kicked, he was probably stomped on by one of his attackers - stomped on as he lay on the ground immobilised by the attack that had been rained upon him.

"Once they had finished the attackers left him for dead. They left him lying on the dirt. "There, Mr Do slowly died as a result of head injuries he sustained in this attack. Mr Do did not die immediately, it is likely he survived for one to two hours after the attack."
