Cassius Turvey’s ‘Vigilante’ Killers Face Life in Prison for ‘Horrendous’ Crime
- On June 27, 2025, three men were handed sentences by the Supreme Court of Western Australia for the murder of 15-year-old Cassius Turvey, which occurred in October 2022 in the suburb of Middle Swan, Perth.
- The killing resulted from a violent confrontation sparked by the mistaken belief that Cassius was involved in vandalizing Jack Brearley's car windows days earlier.
- Jack Brearley and Brodie Palmer were convicted of murder and received life sentences, while Mitchell Forth was found guilty of manslaughter and given a 12-year prison term.
- Justice Quinlan said the attack was not legally racially motivated, despite the perpetrators using racial slurs that caused justifiable fear in the Aboriginal community and condemned their callous behavior.
- Cassius's death sparked nationwide vigils and protests, highlighting ongoing racial tensions and the need for stronger messages against violence targeting Aboriginal people.
