TWO young men charged over their alleged involvement in a New Year's Eve brawl during which Templestowe man David Cassai was allegedly attacked and later died have appeared in court for the first time since being charged.
Thomas McCluskey, 25, and Tyrone Russell, 21, appeared for filing hearings in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
Neither man is facing charges directly relating to Mr Cassai’s death.
Mr McCluskey is facing single counts of affray and intentionally causing injury to another man.
He was charged on January 2.
Mr Russell is charged with affray and two counts of intentionally causing injury to two other men during the altercation at Rye.
Detectives charged him on January 4.
Magistrate Duncan Reynolds was told that CCTV footage of the incident would be provided to both men’s lawyers as part of the police brief of evidence.
Defence lawyer Tom Sawyer, for Mr McCluskey, told Mr Reynolds that police had agreed to a slight change to his client’s reporting conditions while on bail.
Rob Melasecca, for Mr Russell, also confirmed a change to certain bail conditions.
Mr Melasecca said police had agreed to alter Mr Russell’s conditions to allow him to report to police once a week, notify the lead detective within 24 hours of any change of address and suspend Mr Russell’s reporting and curfew conditions when he resides in Western Australia while working there.
“He was employed there prior to these charges,” Mr Melasecca told the court.
Both men will re-appear back in court for a committal mention on April 26.
Dylan John Closter, 18, has been charged with manslaughter in relation to Mr Cassai’s death, and will appear in court on the same date.
Mr Cassai, 22, died in hospital after he was allegedly punched and his head hit concrete during the fight.
