"They found Mr Leman and Mr Rodger in the lounge facing each other, while Mr Rodger had a gun in his hand." The Crown argues Rodger shot Leman twice, first in the leg, then a fatal shot to his chest. He said Rodger threatened to kill both women, took Leman's drugs and cash and dragged his body into another room.
