Man 'burned his friend to death for drinking his last four beers' Australian court is told

A man is accused of burning his friend to death after the friend drank his last four cans of beer. Gary Stewart Miles, 40, is accused of murdering Paul John Stamp, 47, in Darwin in September last year after a row. According to news.com.au, Stamp, who was sharing a house with Miles at the time, apparently drank the last four cans of Miles' beer, despite being warned not to. When Miles found out, he and Gregory Channing allegedly beat Stamp, breaking eight ribs and causing internal injuries. The duo are then accused of dragging him to the boot of a car before driving to an industrial estate where they planned to 'teach him a lesson' by making him walk home. Darwin Supreme Court heard that the car ran out of fuel, so the pair hitched a ride to get some more, and when they returned Miles poured the petrol over the car before setting it alight and burning Stamp to death.
