Murder Of 15-Year-Old Cassius Turvey Walking Home From School : Three More Charged over bashing death

Following Cassius Turvey, an Aboriginal schoolboy, was beaten to death, three more persons have been charged with murder.

When Cassius was allegedly heading home in his school uniform in October, he was pursued by unknown people and hit with a metal pole.

Ten days later, the 15-year-old died from brain injuries in a hospital in Perth. Numerous commemorations were held around Australia after the case shook the nation.

Ten days after the alleged assault, which occurred on Oct. 13, last year, while the 15-year-old was walking home from school with pals in Middle Swan, he died in the hospital.
Aleesha Louise Gilmore, 20, Mitchell Colin Forth, and Brodie Lee Palmer, 27, were charged on Thursday, according to Mechelle Turvey, mother of Cassius.
Palmer and Forth showed up in court, and magistrate Sarah Oliver called Gilmore on the phone.

Jack Steven James Brearley, 21, was charged with murder last year. He is also charged with assaulting the 13-year-old friend of Cassius and stealing his crutches. He hasn't pleaded guilty to his accusations yet. According to the police, Mr. Brearley was with the newly accused three at the alleged assault's scene.

"At least I had something under my belt to bring today to give me strength," Mechelle Turvey said.

Mechelle Turvey said her son's description of the assault with a metal pole before he died gave her strength on Friday when two men and a woman appeared in Perth Magistrates Court.

"It took me back to the day when it happened ... to when Cassius described the incident and what they looked like," she told reporters outside court, reports 9news.

Palmer and Forth were remanded in custody, and on March 29 Brearley is anticipated to make a court appearance as well.
A nationwide outpouring of grief and rage at Cassius' passing resulted, with some Indigenous leaders denouncing the alleged attack as cowardly and racist.

More than a dozen family members and allies came to support Ms. Turvey in court, and some of them held a sign outside the building that read, "Remembering Cassius."

It has been said that Cassius was a devoted son who served as an example to his friends. In the age of 11, he received an invitation to make an Acknowledgement of Country at the WA parliament after starting his own lawn-mowing business.
