Theo Hayez (in cap, with back to camera) is seen as he is taken outside Cheeky Monkey's nightclub on May 31, 2019, after being removed for 'approaching intoxication'ĬCTV footage showed Mr Mackie escorting Theo to the front of the nightclub before asking him to stand on a red X, where he was scanned.
On Monday, counsel assisting the coroner Ms Edwards had told the inquest the decision to kick Theo out on his own without any chance to tell his friends had caused his family 'great distress'. Mr Hayez and other family members have travelled from Belgium for the inquest. He waved his hand and walked out of the courtroom. The comment caused Laurent Hayez to shake his head in disagreement. 'We could call them a taxi, just make sure they’re ok to get home safe. 'We would sit them down, get some water for them, make sure they’re ok…' he said.
Mr Mackie said if a person requested, the guards would notify someone inside the club to tell them their friend was outside. Security guard Shannon Mackie told the inquest that he removed the 18-year-old from Cheeky Monkey's in Byron Bay about 11pm on May 31, 2019, hours before he vanished, deciding he was 'approaching intoxication'.ĭavid Evenden, lawyer for the Hayez family, asked Mr Mackie how intoxicated people were looked after once they were ejected from the club. On day four of the inquest into the teenager's mysterious disappearance in Byron Bay on the night of May 31, 2019, Laurent Hayez and other members of Theo's family listened from the public gallery as security guards from Cheeky Monkey's nightclub gave evidence. Yesterday, the father of Belgian backpacker Theo Hayez stormed out of court during testimony by one of the security guards who ejected his son from a Byron Bay nightclub before he went missing. 'In hindsight it would have been great to have done it ,' Mr Phillips said. Theo checked in May 29 and was due to check out in June 3, but the alarm was only raised in June 6 after his passport was fond with his belongings in his room.Įvidence was led that the hostel called Theo's phone three times and emailed his Hotmail account between June 3 and 6 to find out when he was checking out, before alerting police. He admitted that in hindsight, Theo's absence from the hostel should have been brought to the notice of police earlier. The second witness on day five was Tom Phillips, former manager of the WakeUp! hostel in Byron Bay where Theo stayed. She said he would carefully 'analyse' situations before acting and 'didn't recognise' his actions on the night he disappeared. 'Maybe he was showing it to someone else… I can't believe he was like, there's a new episode, let's watch it now.' 'The fact he watched 30 seconds of Burger Quiz, that surprises me because it's funny but Its not something you would watch when you don’t have a lot of battery left at the beach. 'I think he answered to my message because it looks like him but, I don't know, it could be anybody else French speaking.' Ms Gymorey thought it sounded strange for Theo to watch clips of the show on the night he disappeared. On the opening day of the inquest it was revealed phone data showed Theo watched clips from the show in the final hours before his phone stopped receiving data. Ms Gymorey told the inquest she and Theo had previously discussed a French program, Burger Quiz, which he often watched on Youtube. Mr Hayez shook his head in disagreement, waved his hand and walked out of the courtroom on day four of the inquest into his son Theo's disappearance, during testimony by a security guard at Byron Bay's Cheeky Monkey's nightclub Mr Hayez (above) and other family members have travelled from Belgium for the inquest into Theo's disappearance. 'He used 'Ba' in the beginning of the message and not everyone would use it but he would do it, so in my opinion it would be surprising if someone who didn’t speak French sent that message,' she said. She said there was nothing unusual in the exchange with the backpacker and that a French expression he used at the beginning of one of the messages suggested it was definitely sent by Theo. Ms Gymorey took a screenshot of the exchange the day after Theo's cousin Lisa posted on Facebook that he was missing.
'Because someone opened his Facebook account, I think it was the police, but I’m not sure, so now it’s not the same as we can see on the screen.' She said the messages now appeared to have been opened. 'He didn't get these messages,' Ms Gymorey told the inquest. Ms Gymorey then sent three messages to Theo at 2.33am Byron Bay time. Theo responded around 12.30am from Byron Bay. 'No, ha ha but it's like September what.' Ms Gymorey responded a few hours later telling him the date was September but that she wasn't sure exactly. On the day he went missing, May 31, 2019, childhood friend Lou Gymorey and Theo Hayez exchanged messages about the fact one of his favourite bands, U2, were due to tour Australia in the following September
