Melbourne Freeway Tragedy: Email rampages from accused Porsche driver

The Porsche driver charged in the tragedy of the Victoria police accident sent paranoid letters and messages to the council ranting about race and perceived discrimination.

Richard Pusey, 41, who was arrested for alleged speed in his Porsche by the four police officers who later died in a truck accident, wrote the letters rambling about Syria and suggesting that officials “commit suicide”.

The Australian reported that the millionaire mortgage broker faxed 19 letters in 2014 and 2015 to Whitehorse City Council during a dispute over a backyard fence installed without planning permission.

Sent for just four days to the council in East Melbourne, when Pusey lived in the Mitcham suburb, they were written in English, Spanish and Vietnamese.

“As fax documents are just my hobby pointing out things like date errors, racial discrimination and some letters sent asking questions that have never been answered,” he wrote in an email obtained by The Australian.

At the end of the message, he added: “PS. I wouldn’t want a name like Massoud or Chong in this ‘Community’ – would you? (Both for equal opportunities).”

He also told a council officer that he would see them in Syria and told them that “they couldn’t organize a root in a brothel.”

In another, dispatched on September 8, 2014, he accused the council of treating him, a “white man with a mental health and learning disorder”, unfairly and that an “old woman” got a better deal. I would have had a better experience.

In another email, Pusey contacted a local figure who threatened to “tell everyone that politicians in Cuba could do a better job than you.”

“Everyone should commit suicide,” he wrote.

“Supreme Court, human rights. I remember everything, so others judging by what is happening around the world … New World Disorder was the SBS headline last Friday. I wonder what that means.”

Pusey is still in custody after being pulled over for allegedly driving his Porsche at 149 km / h on the East Freeway near Kew in Melbourne, just before 5 p.m. on Wednesday April 22.

Three Victoria police men and woman were on the scene and confiscated their vehicle when a refrigerated chicken truck collided with them, killing all four.

Pusey, who later reportedly tested positive for methamphetamine and cannabis, escaped injury because he was urinating in a bush by the side of the road.

Then, allegedly, Pusey filmed the graphic scene of the dying officers, reprimanding Principal Agent Lynette Taylor, 60, as she lay grief-stricken and moaning for help.

The police will allege that Pusey said, “There you go. Amazing, absolutely amazing. All I wanted was to go home and eat my sushi and now you’ve screwed up my car.”

The police officers who died in the accident were Agent Glen Humphris, Chief Agent Kevin King, 50, Agent Joshua Prestney, 28, and Leading Snr Const. Taylor

Police have charged the chicken truck driver, Mohinder Singh Bajwa, with four counts of guilty driving.

Pusey has been charged with nine crimes including reckless conduct, speeding, drug possession, and drug handling.

Housed in protective custody in remand in custody at Melbourne Evaluation Prison, Pusey has allegedly been “playing”, calling prison staff “dogs” and alleging that the charges against him are “a conspiracy,” the Herald Sun reported. .

While in custody, Pusey’s luxury apartment in Melbourne was vandalized and smeared with the word “DIE” in the paint on the roll-up door.

On Thursday, Victoria’s Chief Police Commissioner Graham Ashton attended Snr Const’s funeral. Taylor

Const. Humphris was buried Friday morning and Snr Const. King was due to be fired on Friday afternoon.

Const. Prestney’s funeral will be held on Monday.
