Queensland - A man who stabbed his friend and dropped a rock on his head asked him if he was dead yet and got the response 'not even close brother'.

Taukiri Christopher Keen, 20, pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of James Gilders at the Old Boggo Road jail in Brisbane.

Keen and Mr Gilders had been friends for more than two years when the friendship soured after Keen suspected Mr Gilders of sleeping with his girlfriend.

The pair went to the abandoned prison for a visit and jumped over the walls to get in.

As Mr Gilders bent down, Keen stabbed him in the neck, knocked him to the ground, dropped a large rock on his head twice and stabbed him again.

When he had finished, Keen asked Mr Gilders if he was dead yet, to which Mr Gilders responded: "Not even close, brother".

He got to his feet and the pair shook hands before Keen left the badly injured Mr Gilders to make his own way out of the old prison.

Mr Gilders called an ambulance and was taken to the hospital where he was treated for a broken jaw and stab wounds to his neck, including one which came close to his jugular vein.
go

They shook hands after one tried to kill the other? Thats not the kind of friendship i would want or call heart warming! I think their both crazy!

What great mates! Sounds like real bad version of Jackass gone wrong......Morons!

I never saw Jack Ass the movie, but i agree these are prime exsamples of the name and your right morons to boot!

It does sound like a bad version of "Jackass"....I was wondering why this happened, then read the article...Mr. Gilders sounds like a forgiving man... A little wacko maybe, but still forgiving..

should of used a bigger rock let stupid kill stupid, i say

With friends like that, who needs enemies!

If the guy was stabbed then shook hands with the friend who tried to kill him, means he did sleep with the guys girlfriend.

Added insult to injury.

LOL! This made me laugh so much. I mean lol, they shook hands

Touché!

holy mother! that is too funny...

I wonder if they are still going to be friends?

I'm amazed they got into Boggo Road. It's got high brick walls.
But I was just thinking if that fella had suceeded in killing him the first people to find him would be the friday night ghost tour through Boggo road.

does anyone else wonder how hot is this girlfriend ??????????????????

lmao.! great reply.. haha. made me laugh there.

Different strokes for different folks.

LOL


Ahh ... true friendship knows no limits !!!
