The next incident allegedly happened three days later on 12 October when a group of teenagers went to Gilmore’s home and, “almost certainly in retribution” for the attack on the 14-year-old on 9 October, smashed the windows of Brearley’s car, the jury was told on the first day of the trial.
Brearley, Forth and Palmer allegedly armed themselves with knuckle dusters and metal poles pulled from shopping trolleys, and drove off to search for the group with Aleesha Gilmore also in the car.
They started on 9 October when Brearley, Gilmore, Forth and another man allegedly “snatched two kids off the street” and punched, kicked and stabbed one of them, the court has been told.
She also recalled events when the car had pulled up for the first time, but she said it was not Brearley who got out but another person, Forth.
Jack Brearley, 23, Brodie Palmer, 29, Mitchell Forth, 26, and Aleesha Gilmore, 23, are on trial in the Western Australian supreme court for his murder.
