Brodie Dewar, 20, granted bail by court after being charged with manslaughter of Labor figure Tim Picton

The man accused of fatally striking prominent Labor figure Tim Picton outside a Perth nightclub has been granted bail by the WA Supreme Court.

Brodie Dewar, 20, allegedly struck Mr Picton outside a Perth nightclub in the early hours of December 27 knocking him unconscious. Mr Picton spent several weeks hospitalised in a coma before he died on January 19.

Mr Dewar was arrested at the scene and allegedly told officers Mr Picton approached his cousin, who did not want him near them.

“It f … ked me up, I just punched him, I was protecting my cousin for him,” Mr Dewar allegedly told police.

He appeared in court charged with grievous bodily harm and was granted bail on December 28 last year.

Mr Dewar was subsequently charged with another one punch attack that occurred outside the Kalamunda Hotel on Christmas Day.

Mr Dewar allegedly punched a man to the jaw and caused him to lose consciousness for about four minutes when he fell backwards and struck his head on the pavement about midnight.

The court was told he made a Snapchat of the victim lying unconscious on the ground that read, “Hey don’t hit on my younger sister. Keep snoring.”

The victim allegedly suffered a sore mouth, cut lip and memory loss from the attack, and Mr Dewar was refused bail by a magistrate who was not satisfied he would not commit another offence on January 13.

Following Mr Picton’s death, Mr Dewar was charged with manslaughter and he was granted bail by a Perth magistrate on February 13.

But he had already been remanded in custody after he was refused bail over the Kalamunda incident.

On Tuesday, his lawyer Simon Watters told the court the Kalamunda incident predated the alleged assault on Mr Picton, and the injuries amounted to a “chipped tooth and cut lip”.

He said despite a “nasty piece of footage” that captured the incident, strict bail conditions could be imposed to reduce his risk of reoffending.

“We accept it’s a strong prosecution case, if it is of some relevance, Mr Dewar effectively doesn’t remember anything of substance that evening,” he said.

Prosecutor Justin Whalley did not oppose bail but told the court bail was opposed by the victims’ families.

While Justice Joseph McGrath acknowledged there was a risk Mr Dewar would reoffend, he imposed strict bail conditions on his release.

He said because Mr Dewar had been granted bail on the manslaughter charge, he assessed whether conditions could be imposed to reduce the risk of the 20-year-old man from reoffending.

The Supreme Court justice considered Mr Dewar’s young age, family support, employment and that he did not previously have a criminal record.

“I am satisfied he poses a risk, but I have imposed conditions so that the risk is no longer an impediment,” he said.

Mr Dewar is required to provide a $10,000 personal undertaking, $20,000 surety and must reside at his parent’s Lesmurdie home.

He will be subjected to a curfew from 7pm to 5am, must not contact his alleged victim and surrender his passport.

He is also banned from consuming alcohol or illicit drugs, entering licensed venues, and must submit random breath tests and urine analysis.
