Jack Hargreaves, pictured in the dock of the High Court at Hamilton during an earlier appearance. A short time later, after the terrified flatmate had fled the Hamilton home, Hargreaves spotted his older brother Joshua lying injured on the ground outside. Joshua Hargreaves had lived at the Belmont Ave property in Chartwell for a number of years before his friend moved in January last year. Jack Hargreaves moved into the house the following month. A second associate then also called 111 and told them Jack had shot his brother through the door and was running from police.
