Woman speaks out after alleged attack on beach walk leaves her fighting for life
A woman spoke after she was subjected to terrible injuries in a beach march in South East Queensland.
60 -year -old Kathy McKenzie was allegedly attacked by a stranger on a beach walk along the Peregian beach in Sunshine Coast.
On April 8, 2025, around 9 in the morning, Mrs. McKenzie said that he walked by a man with a dog and that Peregian Beach was a dog designed by the council.
“And then… I was on the ground and I really didn’t know what it was, Mc McKenzie said to a current relationship.
Police claim that the man had hit Mrs McKenzie on the ground before running with his dog.
Three witnesses ran to his semi -conscious body, he stayed with him until the medical officials arrived and took him to the hospital.
Mrs. McKenzie experienced a cerebral hemorrhage, five broken ribs, a broken sacrum and a few fractures on her feet.
CCTV images of a property near the beach caught a man and dog working from the alleged attack.
Three months later, 28 -year -old Thomas Keys was arrested and accused of causing severe physical damage and will be the front court later.
Ms. McKenzie said she wanted to share her story to emphasize the “systemic” delays of victims of violence in Australia.
“Violence is never good, and we need better systems to support those who are victims of violence, Mad Mrs. McKenzie wrote on a Facebook post.
“My (alleged) attack was a random foreigner, but I’m still trying to navigate the systems that all the victims have to do.
“In case of domestic violence (and some men), women are disappointed in many ways.
“I hope I can emphasize some of the obvious systemic changes needed by talking.
“Justice says that delayed justice is rejected, so I will share my 7 minutes when the legal system goes to the speed of a snail.”
