Trial Reveals Details of Cassius Turvey's Fatal Assault in 2022

Four individuals face murder charges in the death of the 15-year-old Indigenous boy, with witnesses recounting a racially charged attack in Perth.

Cassius Turvey, a 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy, died in 2022 after being chased and struck with a metal pole in Middle Swan, Perth.
Witnesses testified that the accused, three men and one woman, confronted a group of teenagers, accusing them of smashing car windows and using racial slurs.
Prosecutors allege Jack Brearley delivered the fatal blows to Cassius's head, while the other three defendants aided or were complicit in the attack.
The incident stemmed from escalating disputes involving smashed car windows, social media threats, and earlier violent confrontations.
Defense attorneys questioned the reliability of witness testimony, highlighting inconsistencies in identifying who pursued Cassius into the bushland.
