  "account": "In the ongoing Supreme Court trial in Townsville, wind farm workers Liam Parnell and Matt Garbutt have detailed their interactions with Darryl Valroy Young, 63, who faces charges of murdering three people and attempting to murder a fourth. According to the workers, they arrived at Young's Bogie cattle station around 7:30 am on August 4, 2022, and left him at the gate before continuing their work. They only learned about the shooting after 11 am when they were installing equipment on a ridge with Young, his stepmother, and son nearby. The trial has heard that Ross Tighe, whose family was allegedly shot, estimated the incident occurred after 8 am at the farmer's front gate. Workers photographed Young, wearing a dark navy shirt, multiple times throughout the day, but one photo showed him with a neutral expression, while another showed him appearing relaxed in an ATV. The prosecution has presented evidence linking Young to the .30-30 ammunition cartridges found at the scene of the alleged murders, despite Young only being licensed to possess firearms without that specific caliber.",
