Witness ‘ saw man with his intestines hanging out ‘
SYDNEY: A neighbour who heard a racket outside her house looked out the window to see a man with his intestines hanging out, Glebe Local Court heard yesterday.
Nicky Marinos said the man and two other men, who had a shovel and a hammer, were fighting, and a woman appeared to be trying to separate them.
She was testifying at the committal hearing of Huu Quynh Nguyen, 36, his wife Nga Thi Nguyen, 25, and Hai Thi Nguyen, 34, charged with murdering Duc Minh Le on December 15, at Marrickville, in Sydney’s west.
Magistrate Derrick Hand was told the 34-year-old woman was the victim’s sister-in-law.
Ms Marinos said the man, with his intestines hanging out was standing and fighting, ” waving his arms about “.
Constable Natalie Agnew said she arrived at the Marrickville house about 11.15am, when she saw the victim lying on his back on the driveway, bleeding profusely from his stomach.
The male defendant was charged on December 15, but the women were not charged until December 30.
Constable Agnew said that, when Nga Thi Nguyen was told of the charge, she appeared confused and agitated and did not seem to understand why
she was arrested, saying, ” but I did not do anything “.
Police officers told the court they found a meat cleaver, a large garden hoe, a silver knife and a silver metal bar near the scene.
Sergeant Peter Lander said Hai Thi Nguyen told him that, prior to the victim’s death, she had reported other incidents to police.
However, he could find no record of the alleged incidents, he said.
He agreed she had told him the deceased was a violent man.
The committal hearing, against the women, who are on bail and the man, who is in custody, will continue today.

SYDNEY, Friday. – A police skin-diver carrying out routine exercises at Manly Reservoir yesterday left the water hurriedly after coming face to face with a five-foot long crocodile.
The discovery was made by Constable B. Parker while he was checking the reservoir with Constable T. Swift.
Constable Swift entered the water to check Constable Parker‘s claim and also encountered the crocodile. He too left the water without delay.
Sir Edward Hallstrom, President of the Taronga Park Trust, said the reptile was probably of the Johnstone River variety. These crocodiles had been known to attack men.
The Mayor of Manly, Alderman W. R. Nichols, has arranged for a party of police skin-divers, armed with spear guns, to hunt the crocodile tomorrow morning. He said several small crocodiles had been found in dams and watercourses.
Many pet shop owners who sell crocodiles have blamed owners for throwing their pets into dams and other fresh water reservoirs after the novelty of owning a crocodile had worn off.
SYDNEY: Two men charged with the attempted murder of two policemen had been arrested when they went to a police station to report a stolen car, Sydney’s Waverley court was told yesterday.
Before magistrate Mr Henry were Mr Brent Richard Peters, 23, salesman, of Dover Heights, and Mr Michael Richard Carragher, 30, unemployed, of Bondi. Both were charged with attempting to feloniously and maliciously murder Detectives Trevor James Swift and John Charles Nagle.
Mr Carragher faced an additional charge of harbouring Mr Peters, knowing him to have committed an offence.
The police prosecutor, Sergeant Jay Corr, told the court police had positioned themselves at Nielsen Park in the eastern suburbs after receiving information about a car in the area.
The man driving the car had been described as looking like a sumo wrestler with very short hair, he said.
It was believed certain drug deals were taking place in the area, he said.
Sergeant Corr said police had approached a car and called out, “Police. Stop the car.”
Detectives Swift, Nagle and Edwards had been standing in front of the car when he said Mr Peters had accelerated, forcing detectives Swift and Nagle to jump out of the way. Police had fired at the vehicle but it had continued to drive, in a zig-zag fashion.
Sergeant Corr said Mr Peters and Mr Carragher had been arrested at Waverley Police station at 12.10am when they had gone to report a stolen car.
Mr Gould, appearing for the accused, said his clients denied the allegations and had gone to the police station to report being shot at by unknown persons.
He said Mr Peters and Mr Carragher alleged the officers had not identified themselves at the park.
Opposing bail, Sergeant Corr said Mr Peters was on bail on another attempted murder charge and had been charged a number of times on criminal offences involving possession of firearms and on drug matters.
He said Mr Carragher was not known to have a record. He was a native of New Zealand and did not have ties in this country.
Mr Henry refused bail for Mr Peters and granted Mr Carragher $3,000 conditional bail. No formal pleas were entered.
