Police interview played at samurai sword murder trial

Ms Quinn, who sobbed throughout the interview, said an armed man burst into the Forest Lodge home – where she slept several nights a week – and demanded money, then punched Mr Davis in the face. The intruder then stole her handbag and fled.

She said the man had made threats that he knew where her family lived, so she was “really scared” and gave chase to get her bag back.

“I managed to catch up to him and grab my bag and pull it towards me … he turned around to me and he tried to punch me, but I like stepped out of the way and he fell over. And was holding a gun up at me,” Ms Quinn said.

“I was just frozen. That’s when Blake came up and hit him.”

Ms Quinn said when Mr Davis hit the man with the sword “there was blood everywhere and I just screamed” and she was thinking “what the f—‘s happened, what is happening”.

“It’s just the most horrible thing that I’ve seen,” she said. “I just saw blood.”

Ms Quinn said she and her boyfriend of one year then turned around and ran, stopping in a driveway to grab a tarpaulin to cover the sword with, then ran back to his home.

“I was just screaming in horror. I was terrified, I was crying,” Ms Quinn said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more shocked in my life.”

Ms Quinn said she wasn’t thinking clearly about the possibility of calling an ambulance.

“It was the most horrible thing I had seen,” she said. “I knew that guy needed help. I didn’t know what to do, because he’d just tried to rob us and held us at gunpoint … I was just shocked, shaking and everything.”

Ms Quinn said when she got back to Mr Davis’ house they were both worried that more people were coming after them, so they “panicked”, jumped Mr Davis’ back fence “and just ran”.

“I noticed Blake grab like a bag and put some stuff in it … which I later found out was like our savings … and he grabbed some weapons because he was really scared,” Ms Quinn said.

The court was earlier told that this bag, an UberEats delivery bag, was found filled with $21,000 cash, six sets of nunchucks, an imitation pistol and two mobile phones.

Ms Quinn said they hid in a laneway for “quite a long time” and could hear sirens and a helicopter, before catching an Uber to her house.

“I was just so shocked and couldn’t believe what had happened. I was just crying and shaking and traumatised from what I’d seen,” Ms Quinn said.

“Blake’s eye was bleeding really bad … he was like, sort of blacking out sometimes, he was really not OK. I just didn’t know what to do.”

The trial continues.
