00:00After losing his parents to cancer at a young age, and then the brutal murder of his brother,
00:09Ian Cadbury says his life has been hell.
00:13Just as a good guy, you know, just as a good guy doing his job and really making a difference
00:17in Harpy Bay.
00:19In February last year, Scott Cadbury picked up a drunken Ty Wayne Porter and his 17-year-old
00:25friend.
00:26They travelled for more than 30 kilometres, then after making a stop, the pair turned
00:31on him in a bid to steal his car.
00:34The 47-year-old's body was discovered at a boat ramp in Howard several days after he
00:40was killed.
00:41The hole that this has left in my family is massive.
00:46Crown Prosecutor Chris Cook told the court he'd been stabbed up to seven times with a
00:51kitchen knife.
00:53Mr Cadbury was murdered in cold blood simply for trying to do his job.
00:59The pair then dumped his body and set his car on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence.
01:05I'd really like to thank Justice Davis for calling out what this is.
01:10He's stated that Scott was abducted and killed for no reason, and I appreciate that that's
01:15the truth that's come out.
01:17The younger of the two, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to murder earlier this year.
01:22Porter, who was 18, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
01:27Justice Peter Davis told the court that due to the complexity of the case, he would not
01:32make a decision today.
01:34The pair were instead remanded in custody to be sentenced at a later date.
01:38A family's 18-month fight for justice that isn't over yet.
