Lake Tuggeranong stabbing suspect granted bail amid gang retribution fears
Ibrahim Dweiher, 18, was granted bail after stabbing a teenager twice with a flick knife at a school.
A 16-year-old was stabbed at Lake Tuggeranong College on November 2. Ibrahim Dweiher, 18, was allegedly wielding a silver flick knife.
Dweiher inflicted two wounds: a stab to the victim's left arm and a 15-centimetre cut to the right forearm. Prosecutors say the attack was planned and deliberate.
Police fear gang-related revenge. They noted online evidence of attempts to contact and intimidate the victim.
About 20 people attended the hospital after the stabbing, allegedly seeking revenge or intimidation. The magistrate granted Dweiher bail with strict conditions.
He must stay at home and report to police daily. Dweiher will attend classes but must travel directly to and from campus.
His family provided a $5,000 surety to the court.
