A vengeful man accused of murdering an Indigenous teen was “hunting for kids with a metal pole” and later bragged about striking the boy in the head, a trial has been told. Cassius Turvey, a 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy, died in hospital 10 days after he was attacked in Perth ’s eastern suburbs on October 13, 2022. Jack Steven James Brearley, 23, Brodie Lee Palmer, 29, Mitchell Colin Forth, 26, and Aleesha Louise Gilmore, 23, have denied murdering him.
The next incident happened three days later on October 12 when a group of school-aged kids went to Gilmore’s home and “almost certainly in retribution” smashed the windows of Brearley’s car, Mr Stanwix told the jury during his opening submissions. “It was tit-for-tat escalation,” he said, also describing how Brearley and Forth had later used a car as a weapon and chased down two boys, hitting one of them.
