Convicted killer back behind bars for choking woman unconscious
A CONVICTED killer who stabbed a fellow abattoir worker 49 times at a unit in Scone in 2018 is back behind bars after choking a woman unconscious. Jamie Cust, now 27, was found not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter in 2021 after a jury accepted he was acting in response to "extreme provocation" when he brutally stabbed his "mentor" at JBS Meatworks, 41-year-old Filipino national Jesus Bebita, in a unit in Parker Street on the night of December 17, 2018. Cust had never denied stabbing Mr Bebita, but claimed after a night of drinking together, he awoke to Mr Bebita sexually assaulting him and "freaked out", losing self-control and repeatedly stabbing his colleague in the bedroom before chasing him down the hall as Mr Bebita desperately tried to escape. He then attempted to burn the unit down. Cust was later jailed for a maximum of six years, with a non-parole period of four-and-a-half years after a judge found he was provoked and lost control after being the victim of a "serious act of sexual violence". Cust was released on parole in 2023 and began an on-again, off-again relationship with the victim a short time later. In December last year, the pair were at a home at Mayfield when Cust shoved the victim down onto the bed and began choking her, using two hands around her neck until she lost consciousness. Cust was two days away from finishing his parole period for killing Mr Bebita and was taken back behind bars after his arrest. He pleaded not guilty to intentionally choke person with recklessness and common assault and was represented by solicitor Donna Smith when he faced a hearing in Newcastle Local Court in April that ended with Magistrate John Chicken finding him guilty of both charges. Cust was late last week jailed for a maximum of two years, with a non-parole period of 14 months, making him eligible for parole in February, 2026.

New-look Hull FC win easily at Catalans
Betfred Super League Catalans (0) 4 Tries: Mourgue Hull FC (18) 24 Tries: Lane, Cust 2, Briscoe Goals: Sezer 4 A superb first-half display from Hull FC helped them to a 24-4 victory at Catalans Dragons in the south of France. Tries from Jordan Lane, Tom Briscoe and two from Cade Cust on his Super League debut for the club allowed the visitors to take a comfortable two points from their season opener. New captain Aidan Sezer kicked four goals for Hull in an assured debut. A second-half try from Arthur Mourgue proved mere consolation for the hosts, who failed to break down a stubborn defence despite enjoying a bright start to the game. After weathering an early storm of pressure, a good grubber kick from Sezer ricocheted into the path of Lane, who dived over to score on his 150th appearance for the club. The hosts thought they had got on the scoreboard soon after but ex-St Helens winger Tommy Makinson knocked the ball on in the corner under pressure from scrambling defence by Hull. Moments later, Hull made their hosts pay for their missed opportunity when Lewis Martin raced down the left and found Cust, who moved back outside to dive over for his first try for the club since arriving from Salford in the close season. A devastating breakaway from Sezer, who collected the ball off a Catalan hand, then set up Briscoe and the centre had the simplest of tasks to dot down to give the visitors an 18-point lead at half-time. Four minutes into the second-half, a kick over the top from Makinson allowed Mourgue to dot down the hosts only points of the night. But Cust scored his second try after an excellent kick and chase to take the match out of Catalans' grasp once and for all. Sezer slotted a penalty kick to add gloss to Hull's victory as John Cartwright's first Super League match in charge of the club ended in victory. Catalans: Mourgue; Makinson, Sironen, Romano, Cotric; Rouge, Keary; Navarrete, Garcia, Satae, Sims, Whitehead, Partington. Interchanges: Pangai Jr, Bousquet, Da Costa, Seguier. Hull FC: Rapana; Barron, Hardaker, Briscoe, Martin; Cust, Sezer; Ese'ese, Bourouh, Aydin, Cartwright, Lane, Asiata. Interchanges: Sao, Ashworth, Fash, Balmforth. Referee: Chris Kendall.
