Hannah Quinn, 23, ‘terrified’ by burglary attempt by Jett McKee, court told, before her boyfriend allegedly struck him in the head
A young Sydney woman who chased down a home invader and flung him to the ground was not expecting her boyfriend to then slice the would-be robber’s head open with a samurai sword, a court has heard.
Police say 23-year-old Hannah Quinn screamed “What the fuck have you done?” after Blake Davis, 28, allegedly brought the weapon down on 30-year-old Jett McKee’s skull in broad daylight in Forest Lodge last Friday.
The couple subsequently hotel-hopped before handing themselves into police on Monday, according to court documents. They have both been charged with murder.
Quinn is also facing an additional charge of being an accessory after the fact to the killing of the local hip-hop artist.
Detectives allege McKee had a balaclava, replica pistol, pepper spray and knuckledusters on him when he and a “known person” drove to the inner west suburb and parked near the granny flat where Davis and Quinn lived.
The unemployed musician – whose girlfriend is pregnant – had a gambling problem, according to a police statement of facts. He had continued to play poker machines despite his parents giving him $31,000 to pay off a debt.
