Alleged Goonellabah baseball murderer Clinton Brian Williams to face Sydney Supreme Court

Dad of nine to head south as alleged 2013 murder case, involving a baseball bat, reaches next step in court proceedings.

Clinton Brian Williams, 39, is accused of the 2013 murder of Dennis Dalton in Goonellabah.

A dad-of-nine will soon face Supreme Court in regards to the alleged murder of a Goonellabah man with a baseball bat in 2013.

Clinton Brian Williams, 39, was charged with murdering Dennis Dalton.

It is alleged Mr Dalton and Mr Williams were involved in a fight on June 6, 2013 in the early hours of the morning.

Police will allege 29-year-old Mr Dalton was found at 5.30am with severe head injuries at the front of his Goonellabah home.

It is alleged Mr Dalton sustained these injuries as a result of Mr Williams using a baseball bat to forcibly strike his head in what was their third altercation of the night.

Mr Dalton was taken to Lismore Base Hospital before being transferred to Gold Coast University Hospital, where he died on Tuesday, June 25, 2013.

Lismore Local Court had previously heard last year, that Mr Williams would “defend this case right to the end.”

At Lismore Local Court on Monday for a further committal mention, the DPP said the hearing for the murder charge was now ready to head to Sydney Supreme Court.

Mr Williams remains in Clarence Correctional Centre custody.

His Sydney Supreme Court arraignment date was set for July 2.
