Australia Man found guilty of murder of German backpacker

© 9News Jamie Saxon A man has been found guilty of the murder of a German backpacker in a road-rage incident in Brisbane in 2017.

Jamie Saxon had pleaded not guilty to murdering 30-year-old Dominik Schulze on Milton Road on the night of October 6, but did not dispute fatally stabbing him.

The trial was told Schulze and a fellow backpacker were drunk and happy after a night out in Brisbane and were returning to their backpacker's hostel with food from McDonalds when Schulze was hit by a car driven by Saxon's girlfriend, Jessica Wilkes, as he crossed a road.

The court was told Schulze was partially naked, waving his genitalia.

Wrecked Japanese Carriers, Lost in WWII, Are Found in Pacific Depths

In the murky depths thousands of feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, two Japanese warships that have rested undisturbed since the Battle of Midway in World War II have been discovered. In the past few days, deep sea explorers aboard the Petrel, a 250-foot research vessel that explores historically significant shipwrecks, announced they had located the wreckage of the Japanese carriers Kaga and Akagi, two among the six-carrier fleet used by Japanese aircraft to attack Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Saxon, aged 33 at the time, was angry when he got out of the car as Schulze stood up, apparently uninjured.

The court was told after a confrontation Saxon took a knife from the Mazda and stabbed Schulze up to four times.

He was rushed to hospital after 4am but by 12pm that day Schulze had died.

A jury found Saxon guilty of murder.

More to come.
