In short:

The lawyer of a man accused of murdering teenager Ekampreet Sahni Singh says his client did not mean to kill or injure the victim.

Hundreds of mourners joined Mr Sahni's parents at a vigil at the Bar Beach car park in Newcastle where their son was fatally shot on Wednesday.

What's next?

Decklen Deaves-Thornton was denied bail on Saturday and will face Newcastle Court on June 18.

I don't know the context, but pretty hard to claim you didn't mean to kill someone when you shoot them.

(Self-defence no withstanding)

Edit: Actually read the article. Yeah, he's admitting to randomly shooting the gun it seems. Even if he "didn't intend to injure", you have to be a moron to just roll up and shoot.

This is murder, even if the intent wasn't specifically to kill. It's so negligent it's murder.
