The family of police shooting victim Justin McMaster say they are very relieved a man has been arrested for breaking into their house.
Police shot Mr McMaster, 19, in the stomach outside his family’s home in Colyton, western Sydney, as he tried to protect his sister Kayla McMaster, 17, from three armed intruders.
He was outside the house in Holmes Street holding a length of metal from aluminum blinds but police, who were responding to a report of an armed robbery, thought he was carrying a knife.
Kayla told the Herald this week that she and her mother had yelled at police that Mr McMaster was a member of the family when they saw a Taser and gun pointed at him.
Mr McMaster’s mother, Georgia Karakizos said the three robbers had assaulted her and her partner Paul Sciberras and threatened to rape Kayla.
The family’s lawyer Greg Walsh said the family were still waiting to receive counselling over the ordeal, but were pleased that an arrest had been made.
“They are also very relieved that the commissioner responded by forming a taskforce,” Mr Walsh said.
However, when Ms Karakizos spoke to the Herald this week, she said the family were upset that it had taken so long to make an arrest, because they had given police the names of the intruders a week and a half ago.
Officers who are part of Strike Force Gurney arrested a 21-year-old in Tregear yesterday about 5.45pm.
Christopher Bailey, 22, of Tregear appeared at Mount Druitt Local Court today charged with aggravated break and enter and committing a serious indictable offence.
He did not apply for bail and it was formally refused. He is due to appear in Penrith Local Court in December.
An internal police investigation into the shooting of Mr McMaster is under way.
Mr McMaster remains in the surgical unit at Westmead Hospital.
