- The most shocking fact about the murder of Curtis Cheng
THE day before he murdered a police employee, teenage terrorist Farhad Jabar was seen handing over a black carry bag to his sister outside a Western Sydney library.
It would be the last time he ever saw her.
The bag Shadi Jabar took with her was the one she would carry all the way to Syria to marry an Islamic State fighter, a Sydney court heard on Tuesday.
Sydney Airport security footage has revealed Ms Jabar was able to flee Australia by boarding a Singapore airlines flight to Turkey before she later travelled to Syria.
The bag she was carrying was allegedly handled by a number of accused terrorists inside Parramatta Mosque before her departure.
It is the Crown case Ms Jabar helped draft the bloody suicide note found on her brother’s body after he killed police accountant Curtis Cheng outside Parramatta police headquarters on October 2, 2015.
Details of Ms Jabar’s escape to Syria were revealed in the Sydney Downing Centre Local Court during a committal hearing for four men accused of planning the terror attack which resulted in Cheng’s daylight execution.
Talal Alameddine, 24, Milad Atai, 21 and Mustafa Dirani, 23, and Raban Alou are all charged with preparing or planning a terrorist act.
Atai is accused of helping Jabar’s older sister flee the country the day before the murder; Alameddine and Dirani are charged with suppling the gun used to kill Mr Cheng and Alou is accused of then giving the gun to Jabar.
A conversation Alou had two weeks after the murder was played to the court.
Male voice: How can it be permissible bro? Like he’s murdered like a — a — a innocent person
Alou: No its not it’s a copper… you are allowed ‘cause we are in dark…dark times
During the hearing, the court was played a video of Dirani which he recorded on his phone and sent to his co-accused on a Whatsapp group titled “The bricks”.
“This is to all the pigs out there…you dirty mother dogs….we’re coming for you…we’re going to dominate you….Watcha going to do,” Dirani said staring down the barrel of the camera with his eyes wide open.
Crown prosecutor Paul McGuire SC tendered several of the Whatsapp group conversations including one where the group share a picture of an Australian Federal Police Eid dinner invitation.
“Look at these dogs,” one comments.
Alou then allegedly responds: “May Allah curse every afp and asio and there (sic) snitches out there”.
The hearing is being held in order for a magistrate to decide whether there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to a trial before a jury.
