Versace is a name dripped with glamour, and wealth, and glitz, and fame. 

But the reality of the death of a man who bore it was a lot grimier than the Italian fashion house which made it famous.  

Joseph Rodney Versace. A man with bikie links. Shot in the head. Dead – in a shed, north of Perth. 

The gunman, Joshua Duperouzel, also with bikie links, made his escape in a black Beemer with the number plate ‘666’. 

And he stayed on the run for days, before turning himself in the most bizarre way.

Former court reporter for Seven News Perth Syan Vallance joins host Tim Clarke to break down the case of The State of Western Australia vs Joshua Colin Duperouzel.
