Gold Coast Stabbing: Harrison Geppert, brother of ex-bikie Ben ‘Notorius’ Geppert, stabbed to death

Tributes have started to flow for the younger brother of a former Hells Angel bikie, found stabbed to death in a Gold Coast park.

TRIBUTES have poured in for Harrison Geppert, 17, after he was found dead in a Gold Coast park overnight.

The younger brother of former Hells Angel bikie Ben “Notorious” Geppert was found stabbed to death around 5.40pm yesterday in Frascott Park, Varsity Lakes.

An 18-year-old man today appeared in court charged with one count of murder in relation to Geppert’s death.

Flowers have begun appearing at the scene.

“From a mother’s perspective, it’s horrid,” she said.

“My kids grew up here.”

Friends and family posted messages online, including from his brother’s fiancee Allaina Vader who posted to Instagram last night “we are shattered”.

“I’m lost for words ... My hearts broken for Ben. Harry Geppert you were a little s--t but you were such (a) beautiful person you just needed some better guidance,” she wrote.

“RIP Harry can’t believe this happened, me and Beth were only just talking about how fun our piss ups were and how much we missed the old days. You didn’t deserve this one bit fly high brother (sic),” she said.

“There’s conflicting versions how he got there and where he came from. So at this point it would be too early to say what happened.

“It’s concerning it’s happened in a public place.”
