At about 10p.m. on Thursday July
8th a report by a passing motorist to the Queensland Ambulance service
indicated that there was an injured male person on the side of Old
Caloundra Road in the Beerburrum Forest just outside of Landsborough.
On the arrival of the ambulance crew they found the body of a deceased male person, now known to be Jye Burns, 24, of Buddina. The deceased person appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound to the head.
Burns had been a witness in a Sunshine Coast inquest in 2010 into the 2008 death of Scott Livermore in a traffic accident which involved a car driven by Maria Waldock crashing into his house.
Police immediately cordoned off the apparent crime scene and set up a major incident room at the Caloundra Police Station to investigate the matter. Experts in forensics, ballistics and fingerprints are working with local detectives and homicide detectives to investigate this death.
This incident follows another incident earlier at about 6.45a.m. in Toohey Road at Caboolture where a male person had hijacked two female occupants of a car at gunpoint and made off with it.
This incident occurred after the two females had stopped to assist the male person who had fallen off his motor cycle. The motor bike had been stolen from a property in Kallangur earlier.
The offender in that instance is a male person who is described as aged in his 40s, tall, of a slim build and was wearing black motorcycle leathers and a helmet.
Police located that car in a burnt out condition around 2.40pm on Dobson Lane at Bellmere.
Det Supt Carless of Queensland police said, “There’s no information to substantiate a link with the Caboolture incident.” Det Supt Carless said, “It is too early to comment on whether he believed drugs or outlaw bikie gangs were involved in the incident. We are not “ruling anything in or ruling anything out” yet.”
Police have taken possession of a vehicle from the Caloundra area for scientific examination. 38 year old Shane Michael Oulds, a member of the Rebels Motorcycle Club has now been charged with the murder of Jye
Burns.
Anyone with further information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
