Boxing Trainer Murdered Australian Heavyweight Champ


This has to be one of the most ridiculous cases I've ever come across involving the murder of a friend (but then again when is it ever cool to kill a friend?)

"The court heard that Curran and Mr Cervi were once friends but fell out over living arrangements.

Curran had been living in Mr Cervi's house and Mr Cervi was living in Curran's apartment.

Their relationship became tense after they agreed to return to their own premises.

On the day of the shooting, Mr Cervi, 41, had verbally abused Curran for damaging his trailer and leaving his place in a mess.

Curran was also unhappy at the way Mr Cervi and his friends had left his premises.

Less than an hour before he shot Mr Cervi, Curran had sent a text message to a friend saying he "might have a full-on blue with Vinnie" and asked for back-up but his friend refused.

Justice Stephen Kaye said he was satisfied Curran took the loaded gun with him because he felt vulnerable going alone."
