Four drug dealers who called themselves Blood Brothers kidnapped a South Windsor man to recover money and demonstrate "they were a group to be respected", their murder trial has been told.
CCTV footage from the front of the man's home shows him being chased by four men, two of whom later are shown carrying his body towards a White Hyundai, prosecutor David Scully said on Wednesday.
He was giving the crown opening address at the NSW Supreme Court trial of Jamie Michael Tilley, 36, and Jack Davies, William Patrick Thomas and Mitchell James Bentley, all aged 27.
They have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and murdering Brendan Vollmost, 23, and to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm relating to two other men in March 2015 at South Windsor.
Mr Scully said the four had belonged to a group called Blood Brothers, and were drug dealers with the nicknames of Coach (Tilley), Captain (Davies), Medium (Thomas) and Smallsie (Bentley).
One or more of them sold drugs to Mr Vollmost, who sold them onto others.
Their relationship had been amicable before they fell out after the four believed he owed them money, the prosecutor said.
"The accused were actively looking for him prior to March 31, 2015, both to recover the money and also to obtain the gratification of demonstrating they were a group to be respected," he said.
"(Mr Vollmost) had told people he was concerned because one or more of the accused were looking for him."
On the night of March 31, the four men were in a white Hyundai which followed a car containing Mr Vollmost and two other men to the South Windsor address, the prosecutor said.
He alleged Mr Vollmost was chased into a shed at the rear of the premises where he was attacked.
CCTV footage shown to the jury depicted Mr Vollmost running through a gate before four men get out of the Hyundai and follow him.
Later, two of the accused men are depicted carrying his body towards the white Hyundai, Mr Scully said.
"A significant amount of blood was located in the rear shed towards where he was running," he said.
"He has never been seen since, nor has the white Hyundai. It is the crown case that Mr Vollmost is dead.
"It is the crown case that one or more of the accused disposed of his body and also disposed of the white Hyundai in which they took him away."
Mr Scully alleged that the footage depicted Davies, the first person running after Mr Vollmost, carrying a black object which the crown said was some sort of weapon such as an extendable baton.
The trial is continuing.
