Glamorous woman who beat her ‘shy, kind-hearted’ boyfriend to death with a rake, scissors and a skateboard before claiming he’d taken his own life learns her fate

A Perth woman who beat her boyfriend to death has been jailed for life with a non-parole period of almost two decades.

In an ‘explosion of anger’, Brittany McCulloch hit, whipped and bit Jordan Chas Caine dozens of times using a rake, extension cord, scissors, a broken mop and a skateboard.

Western Australia Supreme Court Justice Stephen Lemonis said what Mr Caine has suffered was a ‘serious form of domestic violence, WEST Australia reported.

The ‘prolonged and brutal attack’ took place in July 2022 at the couple’s home in the coastal Perth suburb of Alkimos.

It’s not known how long the assault took or what McCulloch’s motive was, with her own lawyer Seamus Rafferty SC admitting that his client had ‘told too many lies’ and that ‘specifically what happened’ may never be known.

The lies started when McCulloch called Triple-0 and said she had found Mr Caine, 34, on the floor with cuts to his wrist.

When paramedics arrived to the home, they were suspicious and called the police.

An officer heard McCulloch, now 30, tell someone on a phone call that Mr Caine had taken his own life.

She told a different officer her partner, who she later described as a ‘soft, nurturing, shy and kind-hearted … loving person’, had killed himself.

The couple had been together for just eight months at the time of the murder.

The court heard that McCulloch told the police she had gone for a walk to the beach at 3am because she couldn’t sleep and when she got back at 6am she found Mr Caine in the garage.

She said her boyfriend suffered from anxiety and depression and had committed suicide.

McCulloch denied there had been any domestic violence issues, but neighbours told the police they often heard loud arguments at the house and that she was the ‘aggressor’.
