A 21-year-old man, Brodie Jake Dewar, has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in the death of Tim Picton, a prominent political strategist who died after allegedly being struck in Perth’s Northbridge. The trial, set for July 2027, will span ten days, with key pre-trial hearings scheduled for October and December to determine admissible evidence — including CCTV footage. Picton, known for his sharp political tactics and role in WA Labor’s 2021 victory, was widely mourned. Dewar remains on bail as both his family and Picton’s widow attended the initial court appearance, underscoring the gravity of this high-profile case.
