partner watching the sunrise on July 25 when she heard tyres
screeching.  She said a car was aiming at a man walking on
Schwartz Crescent.  Ms Clarke's partner, Matthew Lemons, told
the hearing he saw three people run from the car and then saw
someone making a kicking motion.  He said the fracas was over in
seconds.  The court heard the couple drove down to find the body
of 33-year-old Kwementyaye Ryder minutes later and called the
police.  Five men - Anton Kloeden, Joshua Spears, Scott Doody,
Timothy Hird and Glen Swain - are facing court, charged with his
