On Friday, August 10, Jett McKee was allegedly murdered in broad daylight.
The aspiring rapper was killed with a samurai sword in Forest Lodge, an affluent suburb in Sydney’s inner west.
A few days later, Hannah Quinn and her boyfriend, Blake Davis, handed themselves into police. They were charged with McKee’s murder.
Quinn is also facing an additional charge of being an accessory after the fact to the killing of the local hip-hop artist.
On Friday morning, 23-year-old Quinn went to the shops for some food and coffee. She had only just returned home, when two men wearing balaclavas entered Davis’ apartment.
They were armed with knuckledusters, pepper spray and a fake gun.
It’s alleged Quinn said, “Who the f**k are you?”.
Neighbours claim they then heard Davis say, “There’s no money here”.
According to Quinn’s lawyer Tom Hughes, one of the masked men, McKee, then threatened the couple.
“You don’t want to get hurt. I will shoot you. There’s lots more people like me who will come and shoot you. Give me any valuables.”
McKee then allegedly punched Davis with the knuckledusters. He then fled the apartment with a bag.
The couple allegedly followed McKee out into the street, armed with the samurai sword.

There's more to this story. Gambling debts?
So how could the thugs have had a gun? Or their "friends"? No one is Australia is supposed to have a gun.
Sadly, I'm sure the couple will go to jail. The dead robber, on the other hand, wouldn't be dead if he hadn't been a thug who broke in and threatened to murder the couple. I'm sure this will really upset many people, but this really is a case of good riddance. He won't be doing it to anyone else. And it might even deter his illegally armed fellow "villains".
So the fact that the couple had a cool $20K in cash at home, plus were in the possession of nunchucks, a pistol and a samurai sword, didn't ring any alarm bells for you?
