Trial Reveals Love Triangle's Role in Cassius Turvey's Alleged Murder

The trial for the alleged murder of 15-year-old Cassius Turvey in Perth centers around a 'love triangle' involving a teenage girl, her 14-year-old boyfriend Cody, and his ex-boyfriend, which prosecutors argue sparked a series of violent events culminating in Turvey's death. On October 9, 2022, a group including Jack Brearley, Aleesha Gilmore, Brodie Palmer, and Mitchell Forth allegedly sought out Cody's ex-boyfriend and friends, leading to a violent confrontation. The prosecution states that Cassius's death, occurring after he was struck with a metal pole, was 'the end point of a complex series of events' unrelated to him directly. Eyewitness testimony details the chaotic atmosphere, with one girl recounting seeing a boy covered in blood in a car associated with the accused. The court has also heard about prior incidents of violence leading up to the attack on Cassius, highlighting the escalating tensions among the involved parties. All accused individuals have pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
