Three men found guilty of toolbox drowning murders
Three men accused of killing two people in a vehicle box were found guilty of murder.
28 -year -old Cory Breton and 31 -year -old Iuliana Triscaru were killed on January 24, 2016 at Kingston in Logan in south of Brisbane.
Police divers locked their bodies in a vehicle box dipped in Scrubby Creek two weeks later.
Storage Daniels, Davy Malu Junior Taiao and Trent Michael THRUPP were tried in Queensland Supreme Court after claiming that he was not guilty of two numbers of two murder.
On Friday, the jury returned his decision after 10.45 on Wednesday.
The triple will be sentenced to a subsequent date.
None of the defendants chose to testify in their defense.
When the jury was previously thrown into the water and weighed with concrete, he felt evidence that the victims could be alive.
Royal prosecutor Nathan Crane said that he had previously been responsible for the murder by forcing the jury to the jury Daniels and Taiao’s victims to the vehicle box in a Kingston unit at the time before their death.
Rrupp Threw the vehicle box to the nearby Scrubby Creek, or it was available when it happened, Crane Crane said.
Jessica Goldie, the defense lawyer of thisrupp, said that other men, including Taiao or prosecution witness, could be a passenger in a public service vehicle that took the vehicle box containing Mr. Breton and Mrs. Triscaru to rub rather than their customers.
Mrs. Goldie, a witness by her client to him Mr. Breton and Mrs. Triscaru’yu “a complete fabrication” confessed that he confessed and contradicted the judicial evidence, he said.
Taiao’s defense lawyer, Lars Falcongreen, said that the “Star Witness” for the prosecution of the jury gave evidence that his client has no information about the killing plan.
Daniels’ defense lawyer John Fraser said that his client joined what he thought was “boot journey”, which was a common punishment in the use of drugs, including taking into custody to scare people.
The Trio faced a re -trial this month after the Court of appeal in July 2024, aside from the murder convictions for the RUPP, Taiao and Daniels and to receive new cases.
In 2021, thisrupp, Taiao and Daniels were found guilty of two murders.
The decision of the 2024 Court of Appeal decided that justice was low, including how the jury was guided in relation to murder crimes.
However, the trio was appealed against the accusations of torture against the attacks of Mr. Breton and Mrs. Triscaru.
