Bradley Taylor pleads guilty to murder over the death of a man in Norlane
A former farm labourer has pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to the killing of another man in Geelong.
A man accused of killing another man near Geelong has pleaded guilty to murder.
Bradley Taylor, 37, was charged with murdering Christopher Kennedy in Norlane on June 17, 2020.
Mr Kennedy’s body was discovered at an Iona St address about midday the following day.
Appearing in the Supreme Court via video link on Monday, Taylor, a former farm labourer, spoke only to enter his guilty plea.
A plea date has been set for September with Taylor’s defence lawyer asking for a lengthy period to seek funding for psychological reports and mental impairment assessments for the court to consider when handing down a sentence.
Details of the alleged murder are yet to be told in court.
Neighbours described Mr Kennedy, who lived alone, as a “happy-go-lucky” man in the wake of the incident.
“He was a funny guy, he was outgoing and so kind to everyone,” a next-door neighbour said.
The matter will return to court on September 9.
