Chilling images before triple fatal Maryborough crash
Disturbing pictures have emerged of a 13-year-old Queensland boy hours before he allegedly caused the tragic deaths of two women and a girl.
Disturbing pictures have emerged of a Queensland teenager posing with a large knife hours before he allegedly caused the tragic deaths of two women and a girl in a car crash.
The crash occured in Maryborough at 10.45pm on May 1.
New footage shows the boy in a car with a driver, a 15-year-old girl, according to 7News.
The pair are posing together while the boy holds up what appears to be a 20-30cm knife. The image was posted online on April 30.
At one point the young girl encourages the boy by saying “Yeah boy”.
The pair later separate and the boy is accused of stealing a Mercedes Benz in Maryborough about 8.40pm that night.
He is then accused of driving the Mercedes as it clipped the back of a car carrying Kelsie Davies, 17, Michale Chandler, 29, and Kaylah Behrens, 23.
The impact forced the trio’s car into the path of 52-year-old nurse Sheree Robertson’s oncoming car.
Tragically, Robertson, Davies and Chandler died in the crash, while Behrens has been fighting for life.
The boy has been charged with three counts of dangerous driving causing death while the 15-year-old girl has been charged with stealing two cars from Maryborough.
Police have found no evidence a passenger ran from the alleged stolen Mercedes-Benz after the crash as initially suggested.
The footage comes as the mother of Ms Davies has spoken out, sharing the heartbreaking moment she woke to every parent’s worst ngihtmare.
Ms Marcus broke down in tears as she described the moment she woke to the sound of police knocking on her door.
“It’s just a nightmare, an absolute nightmare,” she told A Current Affair.
“She would have been so scared … she wouldn’t have known what to do.”
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, who has been under pressure for months over youth crime, angered Ms Marcus when she was asked about what the government was doing after the crash.
“No one is going to stop youth crime but we can do everything we possibly can to curb the incidents of youth crime,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
Ms Marcus says the “whole state” has been “screaming” at the Premier to do more on youth crime before more people got hurt, including her daughter.
“I could not believe she said that, it was just like your daughter’s life doesn’t matter,” Ms Marcus said.
“What are they worth to you, Annastacia?
“I don’t want this to happen to anybody else. It has to stop now.”
She had some kinder words for the boy allegedly behind the wheel during the accident, urging him to “live a life that’s worthy of those three”.
“Get out there and do something good for the world … he’s 13, he’s got his life ahead of him, if he can do some good or Kelsie’s life’s in vain,” she said.
Ms Marcus also paused to remember her daughter, who she described as a “beautiful girl”.
“She loved to dance, that was her main joy, that’s all she would do and when she was home she would just practice” she said.
“She was always happy, always smiling.
“She could’ve done anything, the world was her oyster.”
