Mr Breton and Ms Triscaru's decomposing bodies were found 18 days later when police pulled the large metal toolbox from Scrubby Creek. Mariri helped torture Mr Breton and Ms Triscaru before they were murdered, the Brisbane Supreme Court was told on Thursday. Mr Breton and Ms Triscaru were bound and assaulted. "Screams of pain did not cause anybody to desist," Justice Boddice said. When they cried out, he closed windows at his home so their torturous screams for help would not be heard by neighbours, Justice Boddice said.
