Gucci-wearing brunette arrested over murder of Vergel Velasquez in stairs of Sydney unit building

A Gucci-wearing brunette in hotpants has become the sixth person to be charged over the death of Vergel Velasquez last year.

Stacey Kelly was arrested in Kingsford in Sydney’s east on Tuesday and taken to Maroubra Police Station where she was charged with Mr Velasquez’s murder.

The 35-year-old is the sixth person to be charged over Mr Velasquez’s mysterious death as police are still unsure of the motive for an alleged bashing.

Mr Velasquez was found unconscious with severe head injuries in the stairwell of his unit block in Girraween on December 30 last year, police said.

The 42-year-old died in Westmead Hospital the following day, with police reporting ‘a group of men had been involved in a physical altercation’.

Ms Kelly joins five other men charged in relation to Mr Velasquez’s death, with Michael Porter, Shane Weatherall, Leslie Fernando and Lionel McGrady all charged with murder in Moree in northwestern NSW last week.

Lidcombe man Jeremy Owen James Smith was also arrested on Monday with the same charge.

Ms Kelly was refused bail and is due to appear in Waverley Local Court on Wednesday, with the other five accused remaining before the courts.

Despite the arrests, detectives are still unsure of the motive behind the alleged attack as none of the arrested group are cooperating with police inquiries, they claim.

Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty in April said Mr Velasquez was the victim of a ‘ferocious and brutal attack’. 

‘It’s clear from what we’ve found so far that he was really a non-violent person, he really wouldn’t harm anyone,’ Supt Doherty told reporters.

‘For this to happen … I don’t think the community could stand this.’

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
