Second man charged with murder of Feebie McIntosh on Sunshine Coast
A second man has been charged over the alleged shooting murder of a much-loved young woman on the Sunshine Coast.
Currimundi woman Feebie McIntosh, 25, was allegedly shot in the head during an incident at a home on Coolum St at Dicky Beach on Friday morning.
Police described the incident as a “disturbance” and said after the alleged shooting, a 58-year-old man took Ms McIntosh to the local hospital where she later died.
Bradley Ian Cotten, 30, was arrested on Friday afternoon after police intercepted his vehicle on Fitzwilliam Street at Sippy Downs.
Police say Ms McIntosh and Mr Cotten were known to each other, however initial investigations suggest the alleged murder was not domestic-violence related.
It’s understood the pair were together visiting the home where the alleged shooting took place and both were friends with the woman who owned the property.
The woman is assisting police with their investigation.
Mr Cotten, who resides at Narangba 34 kilometres north of Brisbane, is due to face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Saturday.
On Sunday a second man, also 30, was charged with murder, unlawful possession of a category A weapon, two counts of possessing a dangerous drug and one count each of possession of tainted property, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and unlicensed driving.
He has been refused bail and will appear in court on Monday.
Tributes for Ms McIntosh have flowed on social media with friends describing her as a “bubbly, beautiful and caring” person.
“Rest in peace darlin,” Jason Mawson wrote on Facebook.
“This never should have happened, I can’t believe it,” Cath Quinlan said.
Zac Claire remembered Ms McIntosh’s “good soul”.
He said: “Whenever I needed someone you would be there, you helped me through some of my hardest times”.
In the weeks before her death Ms McIntosh told friends on Facebook she had received a heartwarming marriage proposal, which was contained within a find-a-word puzzle made by her boyfriend Mitch White.
“Your [sic] the love of my life and I can’t wait to … start our own little family,” Mr White wrote in a letter posted to Facebook alongside the proposal.
Ms McIntosh said Mr White was “the sweetest man ever”.
“The best part is, you’re all mine,” she wrote.
