Police and forensic staff examine the scene where Phillip Macpherson was killed in Pukemiro in March 2019. Hanuere Fisher-Williams told the court he had gone out onto the street after being told his younger brother Alazay was being beaten up two men. He bumped into Macpherson who he knew thorough his neighbor and they had got into a "bit of a scuffle" when Macpherson told him he should "make him squeal like he had made his dog squeal". An emotional Sonia Macpherson told the court she was with her 6-year-old daughter at her father's house on Robert Ave in Pukemiro on March 1, where her brother Phillip also lived. She grabbed some knives and went to get in her car, but Shand took it instead to get Macpherson.
