Second man charged over alleged Caboolture double shooting murder
By Matt Dennien
Queensland police have charged a second man with murder after the shooting deaths of Daytona Paul and Aaron Steven Davis north of Brisbane last week.
The 21-year-old Kallangur man was originally taken into custody last Sunday, the day after the deaths, after allegedly being found in possession of dangerous drugs at Jindalee in Brisbane’s south-west, police said.

He appeared in the Caboolture Magistrates Court on Monday, April 19, and was remanded in custody. Detectives charged him with two counts of murder on Friday afternoon and he was expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday.
Adam Jayson Bird, 24, has also been charged with two counts of murder over the matter. He appeared in Caboolture Magistrates Court on Monday and was remanded until his case returned to court next month.
Mr Bird was also accused of unlawful possession of weapons, possessing a shortened firearm and possession of explosives without authority.
Police confirmed that Mr Bird lived at the Lower King Street townhouse where the shooting happened, while the two men who were shot lived at Burpengary. The three are alleged to be known to each other.
Mr Paul, who was from Rotorua in New Zealand, was remembered by friends as someone who always had their backs.
