An Indigenous teen's drunk and "rowdy" alleged murderers armed themselves with metal poles and knuckle dusters, a witness has claimed before admitting he had lied under oath about events leading to the incident.

Cassius Turvey, a 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy, died in hospital 10 days after prosecutors say he was chased down, knocked to the ground and "deliberately struck to the head with a metal pole" in Perth's eastern suburbs on October 13, 2022.
