A 24-year-old woman charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder arising from the shooting death of Thor Morgan in Toowoomba has had her case adjourned in Toowoomba Magistrates Court.

Isobel Rose Higgins remains on bail and was not required to attend court for the brief mention of her matter but was represented by solicitor Nathan Bouchier of Bouchier Khan Lawyers.

Mr Bouchier told the court he was still waiting for the police brief of evidence to be finalised with some police statements still outstanding.

Isobel Rose Higgins, 24, leaves the Toowoomba Watch House after being charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder of Thor Morgan, Thursday, August 18, 2022.

However, police prosecutor Cameron Francis told the court he had spoken with the investigating officer who said the brief of evidence could be disclosed to the defence as early as Thursday.

Police claim Ms Higgins provided a false alibi for Lachlan Mark Freund who has since been charged with murder arising from Thor Morgan’s death.

Mr Freund is alleged to have fired several rounds from a lever-action rifle, one of which hit Mr Morgan in the head as he drove along Ruthven St near Downlands College in the early hours of March 15.

Despite the wound Mr Morgan walked back to his girlfriend’s home in Harlaxton from where an ambulance was called.

He was taken to Toowoomba Hospital where doctors located a bullet lodged in his brain.

Mr Morgan survived for several months before he died in the Princess Alexandra Hospital on May 16.

Goondiwindi woman Tina Kathleen Hazard, 36, has also been charged with murder arising from Mr Morgan’s death and she is currently remanded in custody as was Mr Freund.

Magistrate Clare Kelly remanded Ms Higgins on bail and adjourned her case for mention back in the same court on January 19.
