A second woman has been refused bail after a court heard she allegedly supported her friend who was out for revenge and knifed a 19-year-old she believed was having an affair with her partner.

Details of the stabbing allegedly committed by Shae-Lee Brooke Finney were revealed in Mackay Magistrates Court where her co-accused friend, Tiahrnie Jade Davis, faced charges of enter dwelling at night with intent and acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm.

Ms Finney faces the same charges and was previously refused bail.

The court heard Ms Davis was allegedly with Ms Finney in the early hours of Wednesday, July 5, when the latter allegedly slashed another 19-year-old friend with a boxcutter.

The court also heard Ms Finney believed the alleged victim was sleeping with Ms Finney’s partner Wiremu Edward Johnson.

Johnson is not accused of being involved in the stabbing but he was arrested when police searched Ms Finney’s place and found a gun.

He was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty to having an illegal firearm, received three months imprisonment wholly suspended but as he was on parole at the time, was remanded in custody due to a return to prison warrant.

Defence lawyer Aaron Sellentin represented both Johnson and Ms Davis.

Mr Sellentin said Ms Davis was friends with Ms Finney and the alleged victim, revealing she had encouraged the two to meet the day before the alleged attack.

“It was a misguided attempt to help two friends sort out their issues over a male,” he said.

“The (alleged) co-offender and the victim are both my client’s friends (and) she was with the victim the majority of the day.”

The court heard Ms Finney and the 19-year-old first spoke alone, and Ms Davis did not witness what was said.

Mr Sellentin said Ms Davis was later picked up by Ms Finney and was with her when they went to the victim’s home around 3am.

He said Ms Davis went to the front gate but then back to the car, returning when she “heard some screaming” and told Ms Finney to leave.

Ms Finney is accused of attacking the alleged victim by hitting her, stabbing her in the leg, and slashing her arm while calling her a “s — t” and a “homewrecker”.

Mr Sellentin said Ms Davis instructed him that she did not know Ms Finney had a knife.

He also said Ms Davis sent the alleged victim messages after the incident as she was concerned for her welfare.

The court heard Ms Davis, 25, lived with her mother and her one-year-old baby, and had a prior criminal history.

Like Ms Finney, Ms Davis did not enter pleas.

Mr Sellentin argued his client should be given bail with strict conditions as her mother, who works full time, may not be able to care for her child.

Magistrate Bronwyn Hartigan agreed Ms Davis’ involvement seemed a case of “misguided loyalty”.

However, she said even with strict bail conditions the alleged victim was “at grave risk” of Ms Davis attempting to contact her and “water down” the situation.

“The matter is just far too serious for her to be given bail,” Ms Hartigan said.

Ms Davis sobbed in the dock as her bail application was refused.

Her matters were adjourned to September 25 for committal to the District Court.
