CHILLING triple-0 calls have been played on the first day of the inquest into the deaths of Thomas Davy, 27, and Corey Christensen, 37, in Alva Beach on October 1, 2018.
A frightened Dean Webber and an injured Candice Locke can be heard in the triple-0 recordings, first asking for an ambulance and then for police, while a growing commotion can be heard going on in the background.
At the end of the second call, a blood-curdling scream can be heard before the line goes dead. When Mr Webber calls back, he tells the operator: “I think I’ve killed him.”

DEAN WEBBER
A WOMAN’S blood curdling scream could be heard before a line goes dead.
The next thing you hear is Dean Webber, telling an emergency call taker “I think I’ve killed him.”
The 000 call is part of chilling evidence given yesterday during the first day of the highly anticipated inquest into the double stabbing of Thomas Davy, 27, and Corey Christensen, 37, at Alva Beach two years ago.
They were stabbed by Mr Webber, then 19, who was harbouring Candice Locke inside his home after she came off a buggy, injuring her shoulder, and knocked on his door asking for help.
Family and friends of the victims held each other, crying into tissues, while listening to almost 60 minutes of recordings.
Three recorded phone calls were placed by Mr Webber from inside his Topton Street home, with the first call to paramedics made at 12.24am, October 1, 2018.
Mr Webber, whose voice started out calm, told the man on the other end of the line that Ms Locke needed an ambulance as she had a dislocated shoulder after being pushed out of a buggy.
He told the operator the people who pushed her were outside his house, he was “not safe” and didn’t know what to do.
The operator heightens the call priority and calls in police after Mr Webber yells out.
“Mate can you go, yep, get off my property mate, get off my property,” he can be heard saying to the people outside.
Ms Locke can be heard crying in the background as Mr Webber tries to comfort her.
She is a stranger to him, and he tells the operator that her knocks at his door woke him up and he called paramedics about three minutes later.
More than 20 minutes pass and no ambulance or police arrive, so he calls police at 12.52am, telling police “they are breaking in”.
“They’re 2m away outside my front door … please send someone,” Mr Webber said.
“They’re trying to get this injured girl.”
Ms Locke gets on the phone, telling the police officer the two men outside are Mr Christensen and his friend, Louis Bengoa, who she was riding on a buggy with before injuring her shoulder.
“I got in the buggy with one of them … he went real crazy and pushed me out,” she said.
The police operator, who says the pair had “already talked so much s---” to him, said he logged a job with Ayr Police. While he spoke, a loud commotion and yelling can be heard in the background before Ms Locke screams.
The police operator disconnects the call, saying “thank you, bye”.
In that time, Mr Davy and Mr Christensen had been
stabbed. Minutes later, Mr Webber’s voice is frantic on his third and final phone call to emergency services as he says “I need police right now, I just stabbed a bloke who broke into my house”.
“There’s blood everywhere, I think I killed him … I’m scared,” he says through tears.
The operator tells him to lock himself in a room, but Mr Webber says “I can’t, they ripped the door off”.
It was almost 1am and police and paramedics still had not arrived.
“He’s not moving … I can taste his blood,” Mr Webber says.
“I think I stabbed him in the heart … I tried everything I could to protect myself … I thought they were going to kill me.”
Mr Webber tells the operator that a group of men are standing around one of the victims, and not helping him.
“There’s four of them … they are just standing there … not holding pressure on the wound or anything,” he says.
At this stage he realises he is still carrying the knife, and puts it down on a table when asked by the operator.
“I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die,” he says while watching the men standing around a victim’s body.
The lights are still off and curtains are drawn in Mr Webber’s home, and police and paramedics eventually arrive 20 minutes into the 40minute phone call.
Mr Webber then turns on the lights, and cries more.
“Oh my god … oh my god…. there is blood everywhere … it’s everywhere,” Mr Webber says, sobbing uncontrollably.
“The police are here to help us,” he tells his dog barking at the door.
Police enter the house minutes later, yelling “don’t move, don’t move”, before the call is terminated.
