A Noosa OnlyFans creator and a tradie charged over the stabbing of a Pomona man on Tuesday have appeared in a Sunshine Coast court, both alleging it was their co-accused who stabbed the man.
Cooroy woman Isabelle Rose McKean, 25, and Pomona man Tom Starky, 24, appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court by video link on Thursday, September 21.
Ms McKean, a content creator on OnlyFans, and Mr Starky, a tradie, both applied for bail on charges of unlawful wounding, wilful damage and enter dwelling with intent at night while armed.
Mr Starky is also charged with three drug possession offences.
They are yet to enter any pleas to the charges.
Defence solicitor Jaimee Burns told the court the charges against the 25-year-old were “firmly contested” and the case against her was weak.
“The co-accused in this matter, Mr Starky, attended that address some days before and threatened the victim with a pole,” Ms Burns said.
Ms Burns told the court the bail affidavit alleged victim had told his father and paramedics it was Tom Starky who had stabbed him.
Police prosecutor Amanda Brewer told the court the charges against Ms McKean related to a “very serious, violent offence”, adding a witness alleged to have seen two people leaving the scene in a small grey Mazda found to be registered to Ms McKean.
Police allege the pair broke into a Pomona home around 11pm on Tuesday, September 19, and stabbed a 23-year-old man known to them before fleeing.
According to court documents, witnesses allegedly reported hearing a male and female yell out “he owes me money for drugs”, shortly after they allegedly were seen smashing the windows of the Pomona property.
Two knives and a drug “tick list” were located at Mr Starky’s address, according allegations in the documents.
Representing Mr Starky, solicitor David Crews told the court the stab wounds could have been inflicted by Ms McKean, adding it was not known whether the knives allegedly found at Mr Starky’s address were involved in the stabbing.
“(The victim) details that when he was fighting with Tom, ‘the next thing I knew Isabelle jumped on my back and it felt like she kicked me in my guts or something because I felt immediately winded’,” Mr Crews said.
Magistrate Rod Madsen told the court there was a “strong case” against Mr Starky and refused the 24-year-old bail.
Ms McKean was released on bail.
Both of their matters were adjourned to November 24.
