A TEENAGER who murdered a 15-year-old boy in a random knife attack at a shopping plaza was detained for life on after a judge found he remained a very real danger of reoffending.
In the Supreme Court in Brisbane today, Justice Ann Lyons said the teenager, now 18, had shown no remorse or empathy with his victim who he killed at random in calculated cold blood.
“The whole thing was completely meaningless. There was no psychosis, you were just angry. I consider you very dangerous,” she said.
Justice Lyons said the victim’s family had been devastated and remained very distressed about the murder.
“I find this is a particularly heinous crime and it is in the worst category,” she said.
She sentenced the teenager to life detention, which will be served in an adult jail after he turns 19 in January.
Prosecutor Brendan Campbell told the Supreme Court in Brisbane that the maximum sentence for murder involving a juvenile-aged killer was life but unlike adults it was not mandatory.
However, Mr Campbell said the killer was aged 16 years and 10 months when he committed the murder and under Queensland law must be sentenced as a juvenile, which means he can’t be identified unless by order of a judge.
The teenager was on probation at the time for attempting to rape two other boys when he was aged 13 years.
Under new Queensland child protection laws the victim also can’t identified.
Last December, the teenager pleaded guilty to murdering a boy and unlawfully wounding David Phillips, 55, at Gympie on November 27, 2009.
The matter was then set down for today to allow reports to be compiled.
As Mr Campbell related the details of the attack several members of the victim’s family were so overcome they left the court room in tears.
Mr Campbell said the victim was a 15-year-old boy who was known as a “gentle soul” and had been on his last day at the James Nash High School in Gympie, about 200km north of Brisbane.
He said the boy had not been required at school and had only gone to pick up his mobile phone before heading to the shopping mall in central Gympie.
Mr Campbell said, meanwhile, the teenager offender had been living with his grandparents after being placed on three years probation for the attempted assaults on two younger boys.
However, the teenager’s mother had gone to see him because she had discovered he was stealing phone credit from his grandfather and also had some “inappropriate photographs” on his mobile.
Mr Campbell said there had been an argument, the teenager had grabbed a bayonet and despite his grandfather’s attempts to stop him, left the house.
The court heard how the teenager then went to the shopping mall and at random ran up and stabbed the Gympie boy in the back.
The boy, who had been stabbed through the heat, then run off with his assailant in pursuit before the boy collapsed in an underground car park.
Mr Campbell said Mr Phillips and another man went to the boy’s aid and during the struggle Mr Phillips was stabbed in the back.
The two men and an off-duty security guard then overpowered the boy and held him until police arrived.
Mr Campbell said the teenager was seen to poke out his tongue and smile as police drove him away after the attack.
The teenager faced a Mental Health Court hearing where it was found he was not of unsound mind and had no defence of diminished responsibility.
Mr Campbell said various psychiatric reports showed the teenager was a “very high risk of reoffending” and had fantasies about “violent and sadistic knife attacks on males”.
“He is a highly dangerous person,” Mr Campbell said.
Barrister Katarina Praskalo, for the teenager, said her client should be sentenced to 14 years detention because of his guilty plea and admissions he made to police.
She said her client had a mental illness which fell short of insanity but it had to seen as reducing his culpability.
Justice Lyons sentenced the teenage to a concurrent term of seven years for the unlawful wounding but refused an application to name the teenager because of the impact it might have on his family.
