THE prosecution in a case against a group who allegedly brutally bashed a tourist on Darwin’s Mitchell St will argue the man suffered serious psychological harm as a result of the attack.
Maea Tongamoa, Karl Gruber, Tayarrah Morris and Duol Gile-Lul appeared in the Darwin Local Court on Wednesday where their matters were all adjourned.
Prosecutor Damien Jones told the court a neuropsychology report of the tourist, which will be relied on to proceed with a charge against them of unlawfully causing serious harm, had been provided to the alleged offenders’ lawyers.
