Notorious former Kununurra businessman Stephen Parker is in trouble again - this time for shooting another man in rural Darwin.
Parker's Kununurra business S. Parker Mechanical Repairs was the source of numerous conflicts over shoddy work, outrageous charges and abusive behaviour.
The business was closed down in February 2004 and the Parkers moved to Darwin.
Mr Parker appeared in the Darwin Magistrates Court on November 6 charged with attempted murder and intending to cause grievous bodily harm.
It was alleged 42-year-old Parker used a .22-calibre rifle to shoot Daniel Krul, 46, in the stomach and chest.
Krul told the court that he drove to where Parker lived in a caravan to discuss a trespassing order.
He alleged that when Parker saw him coming he ran out of his caravan, armed with a rifle and shot him.
With the pain intensifying, he got back into his car and before he could wind up the window, Parker shot him again.
Evidence was given that both men had been involved in an ongoing dispute, with Parker trying to gouge out Krul's eye on a previous occasion.
Magistrate Dick Wallace bailed Parker to appear in the NT Supreme Court on December 4.
His bail condition was that he live at a Perth address during the intervening period.
