Ronlee Petillo got out of jail in June of 2016, after more than 5 years on remand for murder. One month later he was arrested for another murder, And now he has been committed to stand trial for the murder of Roger Williams Banner in the June session of the Supreme Court.
That happened when he appeared today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser. Petillo said that there was no evidence against him because he was not named by the witness who said she saw who the shooter was.
But Senior Magistrate Fraser explained to him that the witness has identified him in a group identification parade and she has looked at 2 statements and she has found that there is sufficient evidence to send the matter up to the Supreme Court.
On July 9, 2016, Banner was sitting on the rail of the canal in front of Publics Supermarket talking to his girlfriend when his assailant arrived and killed him with a hail of gunfire.
