Morgan Western Troy Mundey and Peter Mark Gibbs front Tooowoomba Magistrates Court court after six-hour siege at Newtown home

Two men who were taken into custody after a six-hour siege in which shots were allegedly fired have again faced court for a number of serious offences, with one of them making an application for bail. Here’s what happened.

Two men arrested after a six-hour siege at a Newtown home have been remanded in custody.

Sunshine Coast man Morgan Western Troy Mundey, 44, was not required to appear in Toowoomba Magistrates Court when his matters were mentioned on Friday and remained in the watch house.

Mr Mundey, who was already facing a number of unrelated charges, was charged with further matters arising from Wednesday’s siege including one count each of possess firearm, possess explosives, dangerous conduct with a weapon, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, possess dangerous drugs, possess utensil, receiving tainted property and wilful damage.

His solicitor Brad Skuse, of Skuse Graham Lawyers, told the court there would be no application for bail at this stage and asked that all charges be adjourned to February so a Legal Aid application could be made and he could take instructions from his client.

Magistrate Clare Kelly therefore remanded Mundey in custody and adjourned his matters for mention back in the same court on February 10.

Peter Mark Gibbs, 35,.

Peter Mark Gibbs, 35, appeared via video link from the watch house before a separate court where his solicitor Phil Stainton applied for bail.

Mr Stainton told the court though his client was inside the house during the siege, he had not been charged with anything in relation to that matter and remained on the 12 charges he was previously facing.

Those charges included four counts of burglary, two counts of entering premises, two counts of tainted property, two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, one count of stealing and one count of unlicensed driving.

Police prosecutor Cameron Francis objected to bail, submitting that Gibbs had to show cause why his detention was not justified as it was alleged some of the offences had been committed while he was on bail.

Mr Stainton said Gibbs was contesting each of those charges, some of which had identification issues and though a police officer claimed he saw Gibbs driving a stolen vehicle, his client instructed it was not him.

The father of six could live with his mother in Dalby while on remand, report to police, abide by a nightly curfew and have no contact with co-accused, he submitted.

However, magistrate Louise Shephard refused bail and remanded Gibbs in custody with his matters adjourned for mention in the same court on January 16.
