Marco Yandle, 20, had pleaded guilty to covering up the alleged shooting murder of 38-year-old Steven Murphy by his father, Keith Yandle in 2023.

The son of a man accused of murdering an unarmed man has been set free by an Adelaide court on a good-behaviour bond, after he was sentenced for hiding evidence and lying to police.

Previously, the court was told that CCTV had captured footage of Yandle and his father investigating noises in a shed near their house, which contained cannabis and hydroponic equipment.Murphy, who had been sleeping rough in the area to be near his children, was forced at gunpoint to empty his pockets, the court was told.

"I expect the manner in which your world turned upside down and the consequences that followed have already acted as a significant deterrent to future criminal offending." "And in particular, it may be expected that those boys' loss be something you have reason to reflect most deeply on as you too navigate your relationship with your father, which will never be the same," Justice Hughes said.
