Jarvis Jai Farrier 21, was just 18 years old when he stabbed 17-year-old Harrison Geppert in the back in September 2019.
Hostilities simmered for months before finally breaking out during a chance encounter on September 4.
Farrier was with two others when he purchased cannabis at Varsity Lakes that day.
Farrier’s friends was the first to confront Mr Geppert
Farrier called for backup, and the two groups cornered Mr. Geppert, blocking both ends of the street.
One of Farrier’s friends was the first to confront Mr. Geppert, accusing him of stealing a pair of shoes.
The ambush quickly escalated and Farrier ran to join in, arming himself with a military sword before stabbing his former friend once in the back.
The wound was not deep, penetrating just over 5 cm, but enough to puncture Geppert’s left lung before the teenager collapsed and died of cardiac arrest.
Farrier and his friends fled the scene before turning themselves in to police later that night.
He told police that he believed his former friend was armed with knuckles, but that he never intended to kill the teenager, the younger brother of former Hells Angel biker Ben Geppert.
Farrier had bought the knife “in case he needed it” and told an undercover officer that the knife “didn’t even go that far” and “shouldn’t have killed him.”
