John Douglas Robinson, who is accused of murder in the death of Clifford Fair, is testifying in his own defence for a second day.

While he admitted to hitting Fair twice with a metal pipe, he says he didn't hit him hard and didn't intend to kill or even hurt him.

In a Woodstock court, Robinson testified that on Sept. 27, 2008 Fair showed up at his apartment uninvited.

He said Fair started drinking beers he had bought for himself and the woman he was living with, Amy Gilbert, and was being obnoxious and wouldn't leave.

Robinson said Fair got into a fight with Glibert over money and it was turning into a dangerous situation.

Looking through Fair's backpack, Robinson claims he had stolen his camera, a DVD, some tools and a bottle of cologne that held sentimental value.

At that point Robinson says he grabbed a 16" aluminum pipe and wrapped a towel at one end, yelled Fair's name and hit him once in the face and then in the collarbone area.

He claims Fair said he was going to beat Robinson bad and Robinson says he then pushed him and Fair hit his head on the wall, collapsed and died.

On Monday, Robinson testified he had drunk about eight beers before Fair arrived, already staggering, at the apartment.

The Crown, which wrapped its evidence on Monday, maintains that this is a case of first degree murder.

Prosecutor Tom Meehan says "It was our position, in a planned and premeditated fashion, Robinson attacked the deceased Mr. Fair from behind without warning and then burying him in his backyard."

Fair's dismembered remains were discovered weeks later, and Robinson has admitted to burying him.
