It has been more than two years since Nyngan farmer, Joel Carter was found bludgeoned to death at his property 'Rosehill' in January 2023.

Yesterday, Monday 19 May, farmhand Clinton Wrigley, 40, was found guilty of his murder.

Mr Carter was found by his son, approximately two days after his death, after calls to his father remained unanswered.

The jury heard a postmortem examination showed Mr Carter had died from head trauma, resulting in multiple skull fractures and lacerations.

Dubbo's Supreme Court heard Wrigley, originally from Coonamble, was working as a truck driver and farmhand at a neighboring property at the time of Mr. Carter's death.

It took three days for the jury of 11 people to reach the unanimous verdict, in an almost six-week trial.

It came one week after Wrigley told the jury he was "just being a "d***head" when he allegedly confessed to the crimes.

The jury found Wrigley stole the 58 -year-old's ute and set it on fire on the Old Warren Road, stole a number of his Milwaukee power tools and sold them.

Crown Prosecutor Michelle Swift told the jury the weapon used to kill Mr. Carter was unknown. However, a post-mortem examination revealed he died from significant head trauma.

Wrigley told someone days later he used a rubber mallet and told a workmate he "didn't lose no sleep" over Mr Carter's death and said he "deserved it."

"I was covered head to toe until I threw the match in the ute," Wrigley said in a taped recording played to the court.

"They can search everything I've got. I've burnt it all, even burnt my f**king boots."

He said "the main thing" that led to Mr Carter's murder was the mistreatment of his sister-in-law.

But Wrigley gave evidence during the trial that it "was a pretty bad reason" for murder.

The prosecution said the confessions, coupled with the CCTV footage and mobile phone data, confirmed witness accounts that helped establish a timeline - placing Wrigley in proximity to critical events before and after the murder.

Supreme Court Justice Mark Ierace will set a date for sentencing.
