Cassius Turvey Murder Trial Reveals Prior Attack on Another Teen
Court hears testimony about a violent incident involving some of the accused days before the fatal attack on 15-year-old Cassius Turvey in 2022.
- Prosecutors allege that Jack Brearley, Mitchell Forth, Aleesha Gilmore, and Ethan McKenzie attacked another 15-year-old boy in Perth four days before Cassius Turvey's fatal assault.
- The teenage victim testified he was punched, stomped on, and stabbed before being abducted and threatened with death if he tried to escape.
- The attackers reportedly targeted the wrong person, later apologizing and providing the boy with clothing, a gaming console, and first aid before releasing him.
- The October 9, 2022, attack was allegedly motivated by a dispute involving a teenage love triangle linked to Gilmore's younger brother.
- Brearley, Forth, and Gilmore deny charges related to the earlier attack, while Brearley, Forth, Gilmore, and Brodie Palmer also face murder charges in Cassius Turvey's death.
