A man accused of shooting dead a tradie after he opened fire on his co-accused during a home invasion has hours later filmed himself confessing to the murder, a court has heard.

“I f---ing murdered someone, yeah,” 29-year-old Tyler Vandesteeg could allegedly be heard saying in a video recorded on his phone at 9.40pm on December 2.

Police allege he was wearing the same fluoro Nike sneakers, with suspected blood stains on them, in the damning recording and the commission of the crime.

Earlier that day, Mr Vandesteeg was allegedly one of four armed intruders who barged into Jack Gilmour’s Rye home and shot him dead in a suspected drug raid about 4am.

In a twist, Mr Gilmour, 29, pulled the trigger on one of the perpetrators, Charlyze “Charlie” Hayter, 19, as she rummaged through his property and tried beating him with a baton.

Ms Hayter, who is understood to have known Mr Gilmour, died at the Parson St home.

Three men — Mr Vandesteeg, Mason Matticoli, 24, and Jarod Smit, 25, all from Narre Warren — have been charged with murder, aggravated home invasion and armed robbery.

Jarod Smit is one of three men charged with murder, aggravated home invasion and armed robbery.

Details of the alleged crime that shocked the Mornington Peninsula community emerged as Mr Vandesteeg made a bold bid to be released on bail in the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

Prosecutor Daniel Porceddu opposed bail, saying the prosecution case against him, while circumstantial, was not weak.

He said they not only had the video recording confession, but also his DNA on two shotgun ammunition cartridges found at the scene.

Telecommunications data also indicated that his phone travelled alongside that of his co-accused, Mr Matticoli, on that night.

The court heard the home invaders were looking for drugs, but instead only escaped with a black duffel bag and bank cards, which they were captured on CCTV using later that day.

Mr Vandesteeg’s defence lawyer said not much weight could be given to her client’s so-called confession tape because he was clearly drug affected in it.

She said he had a history of substance abuse, was diagnosed with bipolar a decade ago, and his four months on remand had been a sobering experience for him.

He wanted to be released from his prison cell to take part in a residential wellbeing program for former addicts at The Cottage in Shepparton.

His father, who was offering a $100,000 surety, told the court how his son wanted to “put the past behind him” and “move on with his life”.

A committal hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence for the trio to stand trial will be heard in the Melbourne Magistrates Court in September.

Justice Jane Dixon will rule on Thursday whether Mr Vandesteeg should be granted bail or not.
