PLEA FOR ANSWERS

Heartbroken wife begs for truth to be told

THE wife of one of two men killed in a horror double stabbing in Alva Beach has made an emotional plea for answers about why her three young sons have been left without a father.

Jaye Christensen, the wife of 37- year- old Corey Christensen, was comforted by two supporters as she spoke for the first time since her husband’s shocking and sudden death in the early hours of Monday.

Tom Davy, 27, from New South Wales was also fatally stabbed.

“This week two families have lost a son, brother and uncle,” Ms Christensen said.

I HAVE LOST MY HUSBAND AND BEST FRIEND AND OUR THREE SONS HAVE LOST THEIR DADDY.

“I have lost my husband and best friend and our three sons have lost their daddy,” Ms Christensen said.

She said they were unable to comprehend the situation or understand why two people died.

“We want to find an answer for the loving people that have been killed and for what reason,” she said.

“Unfortunately not all the pieces are falling into place and the answers for the truth of what actually happened may be with Corey and Tom.

“We are hoping that those who are able to speak for themselves are truthful and give Corey and Tom’s families, friends and the Burdekin community a better understanding of why their lives had to end this way.”

Ms Christensen was appreciative of the support of the community for both families.

“We are astounded but very appreciative of the Alva Beach and Burdekin community in how they have responded with outpouring, kindness and generosity,” she said.

“The police are tirelessly continuing their investigation for which we are also grateful.”

A tearful Ms Christensen said her husband was a “gentle, kind- hearted, loyal and fun- loving man who would never hurt any one”.

“Anybody who knew Corey loved him, our boys are so lucky to have the most amazing dad anyone could wish for,” she said.

“He’s so proud of his boys and did everything with them.”

The Queensland Police Service has not laid any charges.

UNFORTUNATELY NOT ALL THE PIECES ARE FALLING INTO PLACE AND THE ANSWERS FOR THE TRUTH OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED MAY BE WITH COREY AND TOM. JAYE CHRISTENSEN
