Bourke St rampage: guilty on all charges

THE CASE OF MELBOURNE KILLER JAMES GARGASOULAS

WHO

James "Dimitrious" Gargasoulas, 28

CHARGES

Six counts of murder

27 of reckless conduct endangering life

Gargasoulas killed three-month-old Zachary Matthew-Bryant, Tahlia Hakin, 10, Yosuke Kanno, 25, Jessica Mudie, 23, and 33-year-old Matthew Si and Bhavita Patel and injured dozens of other pedestrians when he drove a stolen Holden Commodore through central Melbourne on January 20, 2017.

ARREST

Gargasoulas was shot and tasered as officers arrested him after the car came to a stop due to a mechanical fault and being rammed by a police vehicle.

TRIAL

Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd QC told Supreme Court jurors it was "the clearest case of criminal liability that you will ever come across".

Gargasoulas took the witness stand to "apologise from my heart", explaining that he had a premonition half-an-hour before the attack, giving him permission to run people down in order to evade police, but that he didn't have permission to kill anyone.

VERDICT

A Supreme Court jury took less than an hour to find Gargasoulas guilty of all charges.
