An OnlyFans model and aspiring rapper have been charged with the murder and torture of a man, after allegedly attempting to strangle their victim with fencing wire and using a shotgun in a brutal attack.
Cooper Anthony William Bunney, 23, and his partner Bella-Louise Rose Scheibel, 21, were arrested following a harrowing incident at a rural property north of Brisbane. The pair was initially charged with the attempted murder of 23-year-old Samuel Harry Wilcox, at a property in Mount Mee, Queensland, in late April.
However, the charges were upgraded to murder after Mr. Wilcox passed away in hospital from his injuries.
The couple now faces a wide range of serious charges, including murder, common assault, deprivation of liberty, grievous bodily harm, torture, unlawful possession of weapons, and other related offenses. According to court documents, police allege that from April 29 to May 2, Bunney and Scheibel unlawfully detained, tortured, and caused significant harm to Mr. Wilcox.
The charge of “disabling to commit an indictable offense” stems from allegations that the pair tried to strangle Mr. Wilcox with fencing wire, leaving him unable to resist. Police also accuse them of recording the victim’s genital area without consent.
Additionally, the couple faces charges of unlawful possession of a shotgun, a Category A weapon, which police say was used in the attempted murder.
The couple remains in custody, and the investigation into this horrific crime continues.
