A MAN accused of killing a friend during a drunken brawl exclaimed "what have I done?" and dropped a knife moments after the fatal fight, the Supreme Court in Hobart has heard.
Stuart Barry Russell, 40, has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted arson over the death of his friend Brett Williams, 46, at Eggs and Bacon Bay, south of Cygnet, late on December 16 last year.
Mr Russell's girlfriend, Bronte Dallas Clarke, 19, today told the jury she was present when a fight broke out between the two men in the kitchen of Mr Williams' home.
Mr Williams appeared to be the aggressor, with Mr Russell trying to fend off his blows.
When Mr Williams fell to the floor, Ms Dallas Clarke said she noticed Mr Russell had a knife in his hand.
She said he dropped the knife and said "What have I done?".
Mr Williams was making a snoring noise as he lay on the ground.
The couple and another man fled the property. When they returned, Mr Williams was dead.
Later in the evening, the couple and another man at the property held a kind of memorial service.
They drank a bottle of wine, burned incense, Mr Russell sang a song and the couple talked about what they had admired about the dead man.
The conversation then turned to setting the house on fire to burn the body, she said.
The trial, before Justice Peter Evans, is continuing.
