Shocking footage has emerged showing a man dragging his friend in a shopping trolley after accidently shooting him during a drug heist.

Norden Wilio, 26, had planned to steal marijuana from a man named Deniz Hasan in March 2019.

He and his friend Ali Ali, 28, went to a field in Meadow Heights, northern Melbourne armed with a sawn-off shotgun.

The pair planned to steal a car boots’ worth of cannabis from the 40-year-old. But when they arrive their plan quickly unravelled.

A fight broke out, resulting in Wilio shooting Mr Hasan in the head before accidently shooting Ali in the torso.

Following the shooting, Willo helped Ali from the scene – at some point finding a shopping trolley to push him in.

He was trying to take his friend to a nearby home where he knew the occupants but before they got there, the trolley tipped over.

As Ali lay on the ground screaming for help, Wilio fled, leaving his friend to die.

Wilio then went to a nearby household to make a phone call before fleeing to his home when he saw a police helicopter overhead.

Weeks later Wilio was arrested and charged over both deaths.

During a jury trial in December 2021, Wilio’s lawyers argued it was Ali who shot Mr Hasan before accidently shooting himself, however, the jury rejected this theory, news.com.au reported.

He was found guilty of two counts of murder and attempted armed robbery.

On Thursday he was sentenced to 35 years’ jail with a non-parole period of 26 years in Victoria’s Supreme Court.

Justice Andrew Tinney said at the sentencing ‘This was an unsophisticated plan because it was a simple plan, motivated by greed.’

‘There was a high degree of risk and danger involved in your planned armed robbery of Hasan; to Hasan, to members of the public, and, as the tragic events of that night illustrate, to Ali as well.’

‘Your attempted armed robbery of Hasan, carried out in a quiet suburban street in close proximity to many members of the public whose lives could have been imperiled, was a serious crime,’ Justice Tinney said.

The court found Willo’s ADHD had ‘no bearing’ on his offence and he was assessed to be above the threshold of intellectual disability.
