PIC: File

Matthew Fisher-Turner's father and siblings have been found guilty of his murder.

A jury today handed down its verdict over the murder of 24-year-old Matthew Kyle Fisher-Turner.

The court heard the victim's father, Ernest Fisher, was guilty of murdering his son on AFL grand final day in 2016.

The victim's brother Joshua Fisher-Turner and sister Hannah Fisher-Turner were also found guilty of accessory to murder after they helped to bury their brother's body in the backyard of their Parmelia home.

Earlier this month the three family members went to trial for the gruesome attack, where 66-year-old Ernie Fisher admitted to stabbing his son multiple times. 

But the man's lawyer argued Matthew was becoming increasingly violent and Mr Fisher's attack was justified.

The trio are still yet to be sentenced.
