Two brothers, Codye Ian Thomson and Kaine Raymond Thomson-Gleeson, stand accused of murdering Chloe Jade Mason. Thomson-Gleeson's solicitor claims his client acted in self-defense after Mason arrived at his home armed with a rifle.
A solicitor for one of two brothers accused of shooting dead a woman after chasing her down a residential street has claimed his client acted in response to an armed threat . Codye Ian Thomson, 29, of Marsden, and Kaine Raymond Thomson-Gleeson, 32, of Caboolture, had their one charge each of murder mentioned for the first time in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday. The pair were arrested without incident in Logan, south of Brisbane on Monday and remanded in custody.
Warrants were issued for the brothers’ arrest after Chloe Jade Mason, 23, was found unconscious on a Caboolture street north of Brisbane before dying at the scene. Thomson-Gleeson’s solicitor, Ken Mackenzie, claimed outside court that his client had acted in response to an armed threat from Mason.“What is not in dispute in this case is that Chloe Mason came to the front of Kaine’s house armed with a rifle,” Mackenzie said. “Kaine explained to police he did not kill Chloe. What he did, he did to defend his home and his family against a murderous attempt.” Mackenzie disputed the police’s statement about his client’s arrest, saying Thomson-Gleeson was metres from a police station and about to hand himself in. Neither Thomson, whose job was listed in court documents as a meat worker, nor Thomson-Gleeson, a plasterer, were required to appear in court or via videolink on Tuesday. Thomson’s solicitor, Brendan Beavon, asked for the matter to next be heard on January 13 at Caboolture Magistrates Court so a full brief of evidence could be ordered. Police prosecutor Jordan Theed said the timeframe “might be a bit tight”, but he did not oppose the application as it would just lead to police being ordered to disclose their evidence at a later date. Mackenzie asked for the same application to be granted for Thomson-Gleeson when his client’s charge was mentioned. Shillito also ordered Thomson-Gleeson’s case to be heard on January 13 at Caboolture Magistrates Court for a committal mentio
