A young paramedic was grabbing some food on a night shift with his colleague at a McDonald’s last year when he was stabbed several times.
The killer of a beloved paramedic has declared he will fight his murder charge, arguing he was not in a sound “state of mind” when he stabbed the emergency responder multiple times in a McDonald’s carpark.
He was charged with the paramedic’s murder as well several offences relating to a “mini rampage” he conducted ahead of the stabbing. “It highlights the very real dangers all of our emergency personnel face and the risks they face when they put on that uniform each and every day.” “The health system is one big family and to lose someone in this way is incomprehensible to us,” Pearce said.The fatal stabbing came four years after NSW Ambulance introduced a body-worn camera pilot in Sydney’s Eveleigh, Liverpool and Hamilton stations to help keep paramedics safer on the job.Mr Tougher’s wife Madison was pregnant at the time of the horrific incident and gave birth to their daughter in May. She named her Lily-Mae Stevie Tougher, as a way of honouring her late husband.
