The Crown is closing its case in the infamous fatal Red Fox Tavern robbery trial, alleging it does not make sense that one of the accused disposed of a shotgun unless it was the murder weapon. It is alleged the unnamed accused fired a sawn-off double-barrelled shotgun, killing Bush before his three staff members were tied up and just over $36,000 was stolen. He told the court that he had earlier been in prison with the unnamed accused, who had talked about having a job lined up outside of Auckland.

"It doesn't make sense that [unnamed accused] would dispose of a shotgun that wasn't the murder weapon.
