A murder trial witness has admitted her embarrassment caused her to conceal evidence that two men argued over wanting to have sex with her before an alleged fatal bashing. Paul Anthony Quinlan pleaded not guilty in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on Monday to the murder of Scott Pilton, 48, on May 16, 2020. Pilton died in hospital from acute bleeding on the brain just over a day after he was allegedly fatally wounded by Quinlan, then aged 55, on Lamb Island, north of Brisbane.
She previously testified that Quinlan suddenly started punching and kicking Pilton while he sat on a sofa and did not say why. Crown prosecutor Michael Lehane in opening the case had told the jury it would hear that Quinlan had engaged in “drunken, brutal attacks” against Pilton, including a forceful kick to the face, without apparent reason. Lunt said she had been woken up by Quinlan who asked her to help Pilton after he fell unconscious from punches to the eyes and face.
