The chilling 000 call after a teenager stabbed two men to death is revealed as long awaited inquest that will uncover what REALLY happened on ill-fated NRL Grand Final night finally begins

Dean Webber, 19,

Three distressing audio calls from the fateful night a teenage boy stabbed two men to death were played to their family and friends in court on Monday.

Dean Webber, then 19, was alone in his Alva Beach home in northern Queensland on the night of the NRL Grand Final in 2018 when Candace Locke, 31, frantically knocked on his door seeking shelter.

She said she had injured her shoulder and 'very bad people' were looking for her.

She failed to immediately mention one of the men who was following her was in fact her boyfriend, 27-year-old Tom Davy.

Mr Davy, along with 37-year-old Corey Christensen and three other men came banging on Mr Webber's front door about 12.30am.

Three men ripped through the screen door and allegedly grabbed the young diesel fitter by the throat and threw him to the ground.

Both Mr Davy and Mr Christensen were stabbed to death in the melee that followed, and Mr Webber was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing. 

On Monday, an inquest into their deaths began to determine the events of the night of September 20, 2018.

Dean Webber was alone in his Alva Beach home in northern Queensland on the night of the NRL Grand Final last year when Candace Locke, 29, frantically knocked on his door seeking shelter

The courtroom, which was full of the victims' family and friends, heard distressing phone calls Mr Webber made on the night, the Townsville Bulletin reported.

The first was to Queensland Ambulance Service at 12.24am.

Ms Locke could be heard sobbing in the background of the phone call, telling the operator she was pushed from a buggy and ran to the home for help.

Distress was evident in Mr Webber's voice as he revealed the men had arrived on his property.

He told the operator they were trying to break in, before he was assured that paramedics were on the way.

The second call was to Queensland Police.

Again, he explained that the men were trying to break into his home, and that he was housing a distressed woman who he did not know.    

'You're not allowed to be here… you need to leave now… I need police right now…' the court heard.

He told the operator he did not feel safe.

A short time later, three men ripped through the screen door to his home. In the chaos and darkness the then 19-year-old stabbed Corey Christensen, 37, and Ms Locke's boyfriend Tom Davy, 27, after blindly thrusting a kitchen knife in the direction of the intruders

By 12.57am, Mr Webber made a final call to Queensland Ambulance Service.  

'I just stabbed a bloke in my house,' he told the operator, the court heard.

'Broke into my house, there's blood everywhere… I think I've killed him… I'm scared...

'I've just killed a bloke most likely. I think I stabbed him in the heart. There is a bloke dying. I can see him out on the street. He's not moving.

'All I taste is blood … I think it's all over me.'

Mr Webber told the operator he 'did everything he could' to protect himself, and confessed he was still holding the knife that he'd used.

He placed it down on the table when he was asked and began sobbing uncontrollably as he turned on the kitchen lights and surveyed the scene.

'Oh my god… oh my god… there is blood everywhere… it's everywhere,' he sobbed.

The audio then cuts to police arriving and shouting at him not to move, before it ends.  

Ms Locke, now 31, also appeared in court on Monday to give evidence about her recollection of the night.

She started crying in court as she explained how her and Mr Davy argued throughout the night, and said she didn't learn he had died until the next day. 

Mr Webber claims he blindly thrust the knife into the darkness in the direction of the intruders after they broke through his front door. 

The two men staggered outside the home where they bled to death on the lawn and in the gutter.

Mr Webber has never been charged after the triple-zero operator he had called prior to the attack reportedly left the line open for 50 minutes - effectively providing evidence he acted in self defence. 

An inquest into the two men's deaths began on Monday. (Pictured photographs taken at the Webber home days after the incident show blood drops staining the concrete veranda)

Ms Locke's father Martin, a former North Queensland Cowboys player, said his family is waiting on the results of the inquest just like the other families

Local state MP Dale Last previously told A Current Affair the tight knit community needed answers.

'That is way too long to have to wait for the answers that we need. We want to get to the bottom of it and see this inquest held as soon as possible,' he said.  

Mr Christensen and Mr Davy's families have also both spoken of their search to find the truth of what happened on October 1 two years ago.

'We want to find an answer for the loving people who have been killed and for what reasons,' Mr Christensen's wife Jaye said in the days after her husband's death.   

Mr Webber's father Brett Webber told The Courier Mail that his son has been in therapy since the incident.

The teen left town in the aftermath of the incident but has since returned.

His father said he is trying to get on with life as best he can but knows bad memories will resurface as key dates approach.

In a small town like theirs, everyone knows everyone and its often 'hard to escape the whispers', but the family look forward to closure and answers for everybody involved.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS  

June 2018: Candice Locke, 29 and Tom Davy, 27, met three months earlier via a dating app. Ms Locke was living in Ayr, about 90 minutes south of Townsville, and he in Cairns.

September 30, 2018: They met up with each other in Alva Beach, north of Queensland, for the NRL Grand Final long weekend. 

The pair went for a fishing trip on a beach where they met local father-of-three Corey Christensen, 37.

Mr Davy and Mr Christensen bonded over their love of NRL and the pair were invited to watch the match on a vacant block next to his home. 

After several hours of drinking, the trio and a group of Mr Christensen's friends were joyriding quad bikes on the beach. 

Ms Locke fell off one of the bikes, dislocated her shoulder and went to seek help because she said no one took her injury seriously. 

She took off on a dirt track from the beach, which led into a town and she sought refuge to the first house she saw on 2 Topton Street. 

Ms Locke knocked on the door pleading for assistance at 11.30pm when she met Dean Webber, 19, who was living in the property. 

Minutes later, Mr Davy, Mr Christensen and a third man arrived and tried to break in, while they yelled at them not to call the cops, police sources said. 

Mr Webber called police but was told there was only one officer at the Ayr station, about 20 minutes away and couldn't come immediately due to people in custody.

Instead, Mr Webber turned off all the lights and shut the curtains. 

Ten minutes later, the men ripped Mr Webber's screen door and stormed inside his home saying 'we've got you now, you little p***k'.

The men grabbed Mr Webber 'round the throat, lifted him off the ground and then threw him to the floor'.

Mr Webber 'blindly thrust a kitchen knife in the dark' to defend himself, hitting one man in the chest and the other through the armpit. 

Mr Davy and Mr Christensen were stabbed a total of three times and stumbled outside before bleeding to death in the gutter. 

Mr Webber was arrested when police arrived too late at about 4.30am, to save either man but was released without charge as detectives decided he acted in self-defence.
