Constable Zachary Jones told the court he spoke to Hynes outside her home and she said Mr Murphy had arrived in a 'dazed' state between 7am and 7.30am. Mr Lowe said Mr Murphy manually operated the machine to compact the heroin after it was cut and had been covered in 'dust', which was also found on the floor. Mr Lowe said Hynes and the man rolled Mr Murphy off the couch and the man performed CPR while Hynes called Triple Zero at 1.19pm.
