Friends of Bradley Evennett (above) say he had a lifelong bone marrow condition that made him prone to fractures.

The man allegedly killed in a fight at a suburban home in Sydney’s west suffered from a medical condition that left him with fragile and brittle bones.

Now his family have responded to claims that Bradley Evennett, 32, was involved in martial arts and had been mentored in cage fighting by his alleged killer, Brad Fletcher, 38.

The couple were photographed kissing in a haunting final social media post just weeks before Evennett’s death.

But Fletcher was arrested by police after he was allegedly found hiding in bushes near Mr Evennett’s body, which had been dumped near his home.

Fletcher was accused of killing Mr Evennett just hours after the couple moved into their new home together on Annan Avenue in Melonba, near Mt Druitt, on Friday night.

NSW Police allege Fletcher killed Mr Evennett between 5.30pm and 6.30pm on Friday, March 22.

They claim he then drove her body 700 meters down the road and left it on a trail where it was discovered by a mother who was walking with her two children.

In the wake of the tragedy, friends and family of Mr Evennett dismissed suggestions that he was involved in martial arts fights.

They revealed that he “always had a bone marrow problem where his bones broke easily throughout his life,” one said.

He is funny and humble, and not at all a fighter. He was such an amazing person.”

The close relative added: “He was not a cage fighter, he was not starting a career in MMA and had no intention of doing so.”

Mr Evennett’s bone marrow disease meant that he had to be careful with even the simplest movements and could never be involved in any type of physical fight.

Detectives allegedly found the Annan Avenue home in a state “consistent with a fight” after they searched it following the discovery of Mr Evennett’s body lying on nearby Georgina Crescent.

Police said in a statement that they “found a man deceased with significant injuries to the head and body and paramedics from New South Wales Ambulance arrived and treated the man, however he died at the scene.”
