A TEENAGE boy charged with the murder of a 30-year-old chef cried when he faced Sydney Children's Court in front of his family this morning.
The emotional youth was one of two 16-year-olds arrested yesterday over the murder of Daniel Owen, who died outside his Marrickville home in June.
Owen's body was found in the driveway of a home on Illawarra Road with head injuries shortly after midnight on Sunday June 15.Shortly beforehand Ms Gay, 26, was struck in the head from behind in Steel Park, Marrickville, by two male youths who demanded her handbag.
Ms Gay, who plays nurse Gabrielle Jaeger in the Seven Network hospital drama All Saints, suffered minor injuries, including swelling and bruising to her head.
Police also dealt with the assault and robbery of a 20-year-old man a short distance away on Illawarra Road on the same night.

These extremely disturbing events occured in close proximity to my home - the Ms Gay bashing being a few houses away. John and I were home as well, but didn't hear a thing. The first we knew was when the police doorknocked.
My little bit of Marrickvile is sort of out of the way of any entertainment, pubs and the station so is generally pretty quiet; which makes serious crime here even harder to comprehend.
