A disturbing new detail has emerged about the savage home invasion that saw a 60-year-old Melbourne man bashed repeatedly with a hammer, stabbed multiple times and shot in the arm \u2014 all of which was captured on CCTV footage.<\/p>\n
Homeowner Kemal Akbulut was awoken about 1.30am on July 24 last year when five people \u2014 three adults, one 16-year-old boy and one 17-year-old boy \u2014 broke into his Gladstone Park home.<\/p>\n
Mr Akbulut could be heard in the footage begging for his life, pleading with the attackers while they allegedly struck him repeatedly with a hammer and stabbed him as he lay on the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease take what you want, I\u2019ll give you whatever you want,\u201d he can be heard screaming in the vision.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, \u201cupsetting\u201d CCTV of the incident was played in a children\u2019s court as the 17-year-old appeared before a judge.<\/p>\n
The teen, who cannot be named because of his age, sat in the dock flanked by police. His parents sat just metres away, in the front row of the courtroom as a magistrate warned those in attendance that the video would be confronting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis footage is incredibly confronting,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re about to play some CCTV footage of a very violent home invasion and it could be upsetting. If anyone would like to step out, feel free to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege the video played for the court showed the 17-year-old entering the home and brandishing a gun. One shot caused the victims arm to be fractured, the court heard on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
A previously unheard allegation about how many times the accused attempted to shoot Mr Akbulut was made public.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m surprised there\u2019s not a charge of attempted murder,\u201d the magistrate told prosecutors.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many times was the gun pointed at the victim and failed to discharge?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cFour times, your honour,\u201d a prosecutor replied.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old has been charged with intentionally causing injury in circumstances of gross violence, a charge his lawyer told the court he has indicated he will plead guilty to.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to acknowledge the grave nature of this offending,\u201d the teen\u2019s lawyer said after the video was played in court.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s extremely grave,\u201d the magistrate replied.<\/p>\n
His lawyer told the court while five males were arrested over the violent home invasion, his client \u201cwas the first to accept responsibility\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe point is, he indicated willingness to plead guilty first.\u201d<\/p>\n
The other individuals arrested arrested include a 16-year-old from the Broadmeadows area, a 21-year-old Tarneit man, an 18-year-old Tarneit man and a 19-year-old Meadow Heights man.<\/p>\n
