Triple-0 call after Kevin Ronald Punter’s alleged Cootharaba stabbing

GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: A mother feared her husband had killed her daughter during an alleged stabbing attack at a Sunshine Coast property, a court heard. Read the triple-0 call played in court.

A trial by jury is ongoing for a Sunshine Coast father-of-two charged with attacking his daughter and her boyfriend while they were having dinner at his Cootharaba home.

Kevin Ronald Punter, a 62-year-old IT consultant for Bank of Queensland, pleaded not guilty to two counts of grievous bodily harm after a birthday celebration for his daughter’s 27th birthday took an allegedly violent twist.

Crown prosecutor Rebecca Marks told Maroochydore District Court the mother, father, daughter and her boyfriend were all drinking wine and beer at Mr Punter’s property on September 16, 2020.

At some point during the night there were some words exchanged between Mr Punter and his daughter’s 43-year-old then boyfriend Troy Simeth-Hackling.

Mr Simeth-Hackling said he only remembered having dinner and the next thing he recalled he was bleeding from his stomach and everything was “squishy”.

The injuries suffered by Mr Simeth-Hackling included stab wounds to his abdomen, rib area and the back of his thigh.

Ms Punter only remembered seeing her father and boyfriend getting along and talking about pool fences as well as her father sitting on the couch with a bottle of wine in his hand, the court heard during her evidence given on Tuesday, May 24.

She suffered cuts to her face and scalp, fractures to various areas of her face and a stab wound to her back.

The triple-0 call made by Kevin’s wife Jane Punter was played aloud in court to the jury.
