Five teens, aged 13 to 15, have pleaded guilty to manslaughter after luring and fatally stabbing Jack Westren — a man with an acquired brain injury — under false pretenses at a Wollongong train station. One teen posed as a girl online, setting up a meeting for sex, which was a trap. Court docs show Westren, struggling with social interactions due to his injury, believed he was meeting “Amy,” a girl, but was instead chatting with a 13-year-old boy. The group, including screenshots of their messages, planned the ambush and allegedly discussed bringing machetes. An adult, Tamara Doust, is also charged, accused of driving the teens and calling Westren a “paedo” during the attack. While five teens have admitted guilt, another teen still faces murder charges, and Doust’s case is pending — as the investigation continues.
