Lynn Fay Jean Anderson back in Toowoomba court on 10 charges

The 29-year-old is subject to a suspended sentence and three years probation arising from the 2020 Toowoomba Supreme Court sentence, the court heard.

The 29-year-old had her 10 fresh charges adjourned in Toowoomba Magistrates Court.

A woman who gained a certain notoriety after being a member of what became the infamous “Wilsonton Nine” has appeared back before Toowoomba Magistrates Court.

Lynn Fay Jean Anderson has been charged with 10 matters including four counts of fraud, two of stealing, and one each of uttering counterfeit money, unauthorised dealing with shop goods, receiving tainted property and unlawfully using a motor vehicle.

She stood quietly at the court bar table as her solicitor Nikola Prince, of Legal Aid Queensland’s Toowoomba office, sought an adjournment.

Ms Prince told the court there had been some delays in processing the case through the court as her client’s previous solicitor had to withdraw due to a conflict and then they had to wait for material to complete the police brief of evidence.

No particulars of the charges have as yet been aired in court and Anderson has not as yet been required to enter any pleas to the charges.

Ms Prince said future court actions on her client’s charges could potentially have serious consequences as the 29-year-old was subject to a suspended sentence from the Supreme Court on a manslaughter conviction and she was also subject to a three-year probation order on which breach action may be taken.

Anderson, along with eight other people, pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter arising from the death of mother and grandmother Debbie Combarngo who was beaten inside a Wilsonton unit in May 2018.

In October, 2020, Anderson was sentenced in Toowoomba Supreme Court to five years in jail, suspended after the 906 days she had spent in custody, and placed on three years probation after pleading guilty.

She remained subject to those orders.

On Wednesday, when she appeared back in Toowoomba Magistrates Court, Ms Prince said Anderson intended applying for Legal Aid.

Magistrate Kay Philipson asked what was delaying the matters when Anderson had been told in January that she was to provide her financial particulars to Legal Aid.

Ms Prince said her client had now provided that.

“Well, she can go around there now and sort it out,” Magistrate Philipson said.

Anderson was remanded on bail with the case adjourned for mention back in the same court on March 16.
