Christensen, Corey James and Davy, Thomas Ian

Unknown·Mr Christensen: stab wound to the chest. Mr Davy: blood loss caused by stab wounds of the chest.

Two men died following stab wounds sustained while forcing entry to a dwelling in the early hours of 1 October 2018. The deceased had been misled about the circumstances of an injured woman they believed needed urgent assistance. Upon entry, the homeowner used a knife in self-defence. The coroner found critical failures in police and ambulance response: the initial incident was incorrectly coded as non-urgent (Code 3 rather than Code 2), and responding police officers delayed their response to attend other matters, prioritizing a bail affidavit signing over this emergency. Had police or paramedics arrived 20 minutes earlier, the stabbings would likely have been prevented. The coroner also criticized the dismissive attitude of a police communications operator who doubted callers' accounts during the escalating crisis.
