A CLAIRVOYANT has been found guilty of murdering his lawyer after the pair fell out over a divorce settlement.
John Thomas Glascott, 44, shot laywer David Robinson, 56, outside his Fairfield office on July 10, 2006.
A Supreme Court jury returned the guilty verdict about 11.50am today.
The jury was told that Glascott blamed Mr Robinson for losing his home in a divorce settlement.
Prosecutor Geoff Horgan said Mr Glascott made two trips to Cambodia in February and May of 2006, allegedly to buy a gun and ammunition.
The court was told Mr Glascott sent himself four envelopes from a hotel in Phnom Penh in Cambodia, each containing a Tokarev bullet, which were seized by Customs in March that year.
Mr Horgan said seven bullets, made for a Tokarev gun, were found at the scene of Mr Robinson's alleged murder. The weapon has never been found.
Glascott, of Kealba, had pleaded not guilty to murdering the father of three.
