Ash Gordon murder: Teen who kicked doctor shared bragging video on social media
Don't miss out on the headlines from Police & Courts. Followed categories will be added to My News. A teen thug who kicked Melbourne doctor Ash Gordon in the face as he lay dying on the ground after his friend had stabbed him bragged on social media about being released from custody. The Herald Sun can reveal details about the boy's involvement in the killing of the 33-year-old Box Hill GP after his 17-year-old co-offender was found guilty of murder on Wednesday. Originally charged with murder himself, the teen, who cannot be named due to his age, pleaded guilty to lesser offences including assisting an offender, aggravated burglary, common assault and car theft. He spent fewer than 18 months in youth detention before being released this year. In March, he celebrated his new-found freedom with a video posted on social media showing him being escorted out of a youth justice centre by staff. In the footage, the teen grins as he ducks under a garage door, carrying two plastic bags, believed to hold his clothes, while a staffer warns the person filming to stop. The clip is soundtracked by the rap song Talk of the Town, which includes the lyrics: 'Man's way too lit to be walkin' around, talk of the country, not talk of the town. Get the drop on an opp, stalkin' 'em down.' The Herald Sun was barred from linking the released teen to Dr Gordon's murder until after a verdict to avoid prejudicing his co-offender's trial. He and his co-offender had been attending a house party a few doors down when they broke into Dr Gordon's Doncaster home in the early hours of January 13 last year, having earlier spotted his black Mercedes AMG in the garage. They stole several items, including Nike shoes, laptops, headphones, necklaces and a wallet, before returning to the party boasting about their loot. Just before 5am, the pair and two others returned to Dr Gordon's home intending to steal his car. The intruders woke Dr Gordon, whose bedroom was on the ground floor. 'Hello, boys,' he said, prompting the group to bolt. The doctor gave chase in his car, finding three of the teens hiding in a nearby driveway in Eildon St. 'There's no point running, the cops are on their way,' he told them. The released teen and another boy jumped a fence. But the co-offender – now convicted of murder – stayed behind and stabbed Dr Gordon six times during a scuffle. After the stabbing, the released teen returned and kicked the injured doctor in the face with such force Dr Gordon's eyes rolled into the back of his head before he and his co-offender fled. The released teen later burnt their clothes, while his co-offender filmed. 'We're done for, done for, psych, no we're not. Where's the evidence, cuz? Where's the evidence?' the teen says in the clip, as his friend laughs. The pair also discussed fleeing to the Gold Coast then Papua New Guinea, though the plan never eventuated. The teen's co-offender remains in custody and will face a pre-sentence hearing in October.

Teen burglar who stabbed GP Ashley Gordon in Melbourne home invasion found guilty
A teenage burglar who fatally stabbed a doctor after breaking into his house twice has been found guilty of his murder. The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted of murdering GP Ash Gordon by a Victorian Supreme Court jury on Wednesday. He had admitted two counts of aggravated burglary after breaking into the Doncaster home of Dr Gordon while he and his housemate were asleep in the early hours of January 13, 2024. The boy showed no emotion standing in the dock as the jury foreperson delivered the verdict while his victim's family broke into tears. The teen and another boy had attended a house party the night before the killing when they noticed Dr Gordon's Mercedes-Benz in his garage and had discussed taking the car, prosecutor Kristie Churchill said. Just after 4am, the accused and another teen walked over to the home before breaking in through a partially opened garage door where they stole shoes, headphones, laptops, a wallet and silver necklaces belonging to the victim. Returning to their friend's house, the boys 'boasted about things they stole' and planned to return for the car. Four teenagers donning gloves, balaclavas, face masks and hats broke in a second time, but they didn't go undetected, with the doctor catching them inside his home before chasing the teens out onto the street. Dr Gordon got into his car and began chasing three teens until they ended up in a nearby carport. As the 33-year-old got out and attempted to restrain the then-16-year-old, telling him the 'cops were on the way', the boy revealed a knife and inflicted 11 sharp injuries, stabbing the doctor six times and left the victim dying on the ground. The two other boys, who had earlier jumped a fence, returned after the accused yelled for help before one allegedly kicked Dr Gordon in the face so forcefully that his eyes rolled into the back of his head. The boys fled and burned their clothing before meeting up the day after when they discussed fleeing the country and not to snitch. The accused was arrested three days after the stabbing. Defence barrister Amelia Beech told the jury the teen admitted stabbing Dr Gordon causing his death but denied intending to kill or cause serious injury, arguing he was acting in self-defence. The teen gave evidence during his trial, saying he thought Dr Gordon tried to kill him with his car, and continued advancing at him in the carport even when he pulled out the knife and said 'I don't want to do this'. 'It didn't seem to faze him at all,' the boy told the jury. The jury of 12 took two days to come to its verdict.
