Stepson killed by 'maximum-damage' weapon A SUPREME Court jury has been told a man shot four times in his home last year was killed with a hunting weapon designed to cause "maximum damage." Bradley Thomas Daniel Auckram, 52, has pleaded not guilty to murdering his stepson Jason Burton in the family's Clarkson home on June 8 last year. Police allege Mr Burton was shot four times during a midday family argument at the Farren Heights house. Today, police forensic experts gave evidence describing the blood patterns and ballistics traces found in the house and on Mr Burton's body and clothes. Firearms examiner Senior Costable Clive Roberts said a 33 calibre action rifle had been fired at Mr Burton. He said a shot had been fired at the 41-year-old's right bicep, two to his back and one to his head. Const Roberts said the bullets used were designed for hunting and causing maximum damage to the target. "When it hits a soft tissue target, the bullet fragments, causing substantial damage," he said. Const Roberts said the end of the gun could have been as close as 30cm and further than 2m away when the shots were fired. Another police expert in bloodstain patterns said he estimated one shot was fired at Mr Burton while he was 1.2m from the ground and his head was shot when it was 35cm from the ground. A video of the search of the house was also shown today. During their search of the victim's bedroom, boxes, bottles and loose blister packs of prescription medications were found, prescribed by several doctors. Three laptops, two mp3 players and some documents were also found in Mr Burton's room, but no weapons. Police also found a machete, baseball bat and hunting knife in the master bedroom of the house.
