Two were guilty of having murdered indigenous teenagers, Cassius Turvey, in Australia | Crime messages

The 15-year-old Aboriginal boy was beaten with a metal pole in October 2022. He died 10 days later.

An Australian jury found two men guilty

Turvey – an Aboriginal student of the National Nation in Western Australia – went home with friends in October 2022 when he was beaten with a metal stick in an unprofitable and malignant attack.

After he was placed in an induced coma in a hospital in Perth, he died of his injuries 10 days later.

On Thursday, the jurors condemned two men – Jack Brearley (24) and Brodie Palmer (29) of his murder, papers of the Supreme Court of Western Australia.

A third man, Mitchell Forth, 27, was found guilty of manslaughter, but was freed by murder.

All three men got out of a pick-up truck and chased a group of teenagers, including the Australian public radio operator ABC.

BREARLEY attacked Turvey with a bar from a shopping cart, as the court heard.

The prosecutors said that BRARLEY was angry because someone smashed their car windows – although there was no suggestion that the Turvey was responsible, said ABC.

Some witnesses said that the attackers had used racist dirt before the attack, but racism was not a suspected motive in the court proceedings.

After the judgments, Cassius' Mother Mechelle Turvey went off the farm and horrified “Justice!”, According to ABC.

In the days after killing the teenager, thousands of demonstrators held rallies and vigils in Australia.

At that time, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that the attack was racist and described him as a “terrible tragedy”.

The murder was the youngest in a number of attacks on indigenous children and young people who shocked Australia.

The people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander are exposed to severe inequalities compared to other Australians.

A fourth person who was charged with Turvey's killing, Aleesha Gilmore, was freed from both murder and homicides, as court documents showed.
