Two women who filmed and posted online the “callous” torture of a man who later fell to his death from a fourth floor holiday unit on the Gold Coast of Australia had “complete disregard” for their involvement, a court has heard.

A 19-year-old woman and a 20-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were sentenced in Brisbane Supreme Court on Tuesday to one count each of torture and two counts of armed robbery in company.

The two women, who were both 16 years old at the time of the offending, had filmed about five minutes worth of a 27 minute episode where Cian John English and his friend were tortured in a View Pacific Hotel room in Surfers Paradise in the early hours of May 23, 2020.

The court was told English and his friend were invited to the room to join the two young women and Lachlan Paul Soper-Lagas, 21, Jason Ryan Knowles, 25, and Hayden Paul Kratzmann, 23, as they partied while taking a cocktail of prescription and non-prescription drugs.

Soper-Lagas, Knowles, Kratzmann were previously sentenced for the manslaughter of English.

Crown prosecutor Caroline Marco said just before 2 am things changed when Kratzmann began to accuse English and his friend of stealing the drugs.

Despite their protests of innocence, the two friends were then tortured and assaulted for nearly 30 minutes in the room before English tried to flee the unit by escaping over the balcony where he ultimately fell to his death.

The court heard some of the abuse was captured on video by the two women who fronted court on Tuesday.

Marco said the two girls had filmed videos on their phones each varying in length from 7 to 59 seconds in duration.

The court heard that the now 19-year-old woman could be heard saying “this is why you don’t steal from the boys” in one of her videos.

Another video shot by the now 20-year-old showed her ordering English to clean up his own blood from the floor after he’d been assaulted.

The court heard the woman had later added text over the video reading “the bad b—h I am making this sad c–t clean his own blood up.”

Marco said both women knew English was “critically injured on the ground” after he fell from the balcony but instead of calling police they packed their belongings and fled the unit.

The court heard the woman had later added text over the video reading “the bad b—h I am making this sad c–t clean his own blood up.”

Marco said the women later uploaded their videos to social media.

The 20-year-old woman’s defence barrister, Angus Edwards, said his client had had a difficult childhood which led to her drug use.

“She was trying to numb the pain, particularly with Xanax which she was heavily using,” Edwards said.

“None of that excuses her behaviour, all it does is explains her lack of empathy on that evening as well as a lack of memory of what occurred.”

Edwards said his client’s videos were “certainly callous” and depicted the “very frightening” moments English and his friend faced in the hotel room

“(She) herself despises the offenders and herself by what she sees in those videos,” Edwards said.

The 19-year-old woman’s defence barrister, Martin Longhurst, said the actions of that night were “shocking and disgraceful”
