Wellard man Brett ‘Kaos’ Pechey pleads guilty to charges after violent incident

A former bikie who went by the notorious nickname of “Kaos” who threatened his former partner in a violent outburst at the family home has walked free from court. Brett “Kaos” Pechey, 37, appeared via video link before Rockingham Magistrates Court facing charges of trespassing, common assault, criminal damage and threat to unlawfully do an act. Prosecutor Senior Constable Jessica Anderson told the court that on March 26 Pechey drove his BMW into the garage door of the family home where his ex-partner and children were living. He kicked the front door in and entered the home before he and his former partner got into a heated verbal argument. He grabbed the victim’s left arm and she pulled away, fleeing to a bedroom with the children and another witness. The victim was able to contact police and followed Pechey outside, where he narrowly missed her as he drove off before police could attend the scene. Pechey was arrested on March 27. Pechey’s duty lawyer said Pechey had been living away from the family and his ex-partner was making it difficult for him to retrieve items from the home, which included his schizophrenia medication. “He was in an aggressive state. Mr Pechey suffers from schizophrenia and he hadn’t taken his medication in a number of days, a close friend of Mr Pechey’s had also passed and she wouldn’t allow him to pick up a suit to attend the funeral,” the duty lawyer said. Pechey’s duty lawyer said this did not justify Pechey’s actions but provided an “understanding” of what led to the incident. “He is remorseful and wants to address his underlying issues with substance abuse and mental health,” the duty lawyer said. Magistrate Brionie Ayling took into account Pechey’s early guilty plea and having already been in custody for 74 days. Pechey was ordered to complete a 10-month intensive supervision order with supervision requirements to address mental health and anger issues. Pechey, a former Bandidos bikie, was dubbed Queensland’s most wanted man after he fled to Thailand following the infamous bikie brawl. He was jailed in WA in September 2020 over “bizarre” and “menacing” drug-fuelled threats to kill police. Shocking details emerged during his trial, including that he was on a meth bender when the threats to police were made. Pechey also called Magistrate Thomas Hall a “c..t” when he was denied bail during the trial. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732)
