Cancel his bail, aunt implores

THE aunt of a Gold Coast cheerleader who plunged 11 floors to her death has made a tearful plea to the AttorneyGeneral Yvette D’Ath, begging for bail to be revoked for the man accused of killing her niece.

Breeana Robinson died after falling from the balcony of her Southport high-rise apartment in 2013.

Her boyfriend, Jayden Moorea, previously known as Dan Shearin, was charged with her murder last month following a lengthy police investigation.

He was granted conditional Supreme Court bail on Monday by Justice Debra Mullins.

One of the conditions of release was that Moorea wear a GPS tracker, but because they take up to a week to be transferred from Brisbane he was released without one.

Moorea has been roaming the Gold Coast for four days without being monitored because of the gaffe.

Moorea’s lawyer Chris Hannay, of Hannay Lawyers, said Moorea was expected to return to the Southport Watchhouse today to have the tracker fixed to his ankle.

He said Moorea (pictured above) had already been measured for the tracker.

An online petition launched by Breeana’s aunt Janine Mackney is calling for Moorea to be held behind bars while he awaits trial. It attracted more than 500 signatures in the first five hours.

The petition called for the Attorney-General to “urgently” review the bail decision.

“It has taken Breeana’s family six years of tireless effort to see Shearin/Moorea charged with her murder,” the petition read.

“In opposing bail, DPP (Department of Public Prosecutions) put forward that (he) was a flight risk, could reoffend and interfere with witnesses. Justice Mullins rejected those concerns and granted bail with several conditions.”

Ms Mackney is hoping to present 10,000 signatures of support to the State Government.

She shed a tear yesterday as she told the Bulletin she hoped the petition would demonstrate how the community felt about bail conditions. “I have to get justice for Bree but I have to actually save our community as well,” she said.

Ms Mackney said the family was “outraged” that he was granted bail.

“My daughter didn’t sleep, people don’t understand how much this affects us,” she said.

Shadow Minister for Women Ros Bates said tough bail legislation had been introduced by the LNP but has not been upheld by the current Queensland government.

“It is absolutely appalling that we have to wait more than a week to get a GPS tracker down the M1 from Brisbane,” she said.
