THERE were no tears this morning from the man accused of killing 18-year-old Thomas Kelly as a court was told he could expect to spend at least the next two months in custody.


Kieran Loveridge, 18, of Seven Hills, was arrested and charged with murder last week following the bashing death of the 18-year-old accounting cadet early this month.


During his brief second appearance in Burwood Court this morning, there was no sign of the emotion the teen showed during his visit to the courtroom last week - when he appeared to cry as he sat in the dock for the first time.

Loveridge rocked from side to side in his chair and looked straight into the camera as he appeared in court on a video screen from Silverwater prison, where he has been held since his last court visit.


His lawyer previously flagged a bail application for the 18-year-old, but the bid was withdrawn this morning.
Loveridge will now remain in custody until at least his next scheduled appearance in Central Local Court on September 20.


He was arrested and charged last week with the murder of Mr Kelly, who suffered critical head injuries and later died in hospital after he was taken off life support.


Mr Kelly had been on his first night out in the Kings Cross nightclub district when he was allegedly attacked just after 10pm.

Police claim Loveridge also attacked three other males in just over an hour in various spots around the entertainment precinct.


He was identified as the person who allegedly "king hit"  Mr Kelly after CCTV footage taken from the area was analysed and an anonymous caller tipped off police with his name.

Corey Loveridge and a mate murdered a 17-year-old boy in a random street attack hours after he said he wanted "to stab and kill someone tonight", court documents allege.

Loveridge, 18, and his 17-year-old mate repeatedly kicked and stabbed the boy until he fell to the ground in a Sydney street, the documents say.

The two teenagers allegedly committed the murder on the same night they allegedly bashed an 87-year-old woman in a violent home invasion.

The court documents say the pair broke the woman's own walking stick over her head and kicked and punched her after she fell to the ground.

In Penrith Local Court on Tuesday, magistrate Annette Sinclair committed Loveridge to stand trial in the Supreme Court on September 14 in Sydney.

Corey Loveridge and his co-accused allegedly attacked the boy, his brother and stepbrother in Maple Road, North St Marys, in Sydney's west, about 3.20am (AEDT) on December 1, 2010.

The victim's brothers assumed he had escaped with them but returned to find him bleeding in the gutter.

He died on the way to hospital.

Less than two hours earlier, police say Elena Parrelli, 87, awoke to find the pair at the rear of her house before she was beaten so badly she could not walk..

During her attack, she activated her "VitalCall" necklace, which recorded yelling and threats of "We'll f***ing kill you" and "Where's the money, motherf****r?"

Corey Loveridge was arrested a day later at Parramatta railway station while buying a bus ticket to South Australia where his father lives.

He is also charged with telling a family member during a phone conversation from Silverwater jail to recruit someone to "bash the f**k out of Billy".

"Billy" is an associate of the accused and is a crown witness.

Loveridge also sent a letter from custody to two cousins telling them to "shut there (sic) mouths", court documents allege.

He is the cousin of Kieran Loveridge, 18, who was charged last week with the bashing murder of Thomas Kelly, 18, and the assault of three other young males in Kings Cross in just over an hour on the night of July 7.

Kieran Loveridge is expected to apply for bail in Burwood Local Court on Wednesday.

His 17-year-old friend remains in custody for bashing a Channel Nine cameraman outside the same court where Kieran appeared last week.

THOMAS Kelly was a determined, courageous young man whose life was cut tragically short, his father has told mourners at a funeral service in Sydney.
Ralph and Kathy Kelly held the hands of their younger two children Stuart and Madeleine, as they walked into The Kings School chapel for the funeral service.

Hundreds of people gathered in and around the chapel to say goodbye to Tom, 18, who was killed in a Kings Cross attack almost a fortnight ago.
Kieran Loveridge, 18, has been charged with murder.
"Thomas was a courageous boy in both his life and his death,'' Mr Kelly  told the service.
"The more I knew him the more I was in awe of his sheer determination.''
Mr Kelly also read out his son's final email, sent on July 6, the night before he was fatally attacked.
Thomas wrote that he was going to have an early night on Friday, July 6 because he wanted to save his energy for the next evening.
"Na, I'm not going out tonight,'' the teenager wrote to his father in the email.
"I might be back a little later - just stay for a drink - but want to have an early night and enjoy tomorrow instead.'
Mr Kelly said his son also spoke about what he was going to have for dinner that evening and about sorting out a tax form.
"I will treasure those last written words to me written from my son,'' Ralph Kelly continued.
"Thomas did in fact go out that Friday night, he spent some time with his good friends from Mosman playing pool at The Oaks (pub) in Neutral Bay.
"In hindsight I'm very glad he got to spend some time with his good friends that evening.
"He would have spent his last night happy.'
Mr Kelly said the days since his son's death had been an emotional rollercoaster.
"It's still difficult to believe Thomas will not be coming home again,'' he said.
"I don't think th e reality has yet set in. We still talk about Thomas in the present tense.
"Each night we turn on his bedside lamp and say a prayer.''
The Reverend Stephen Edwards said it wasn't long ago that Thomas Kelly was sitting in the chapel where his funeral was taking place.
"It was was the last thing on our minds that we'd be returning so quickly to farewell one of our own,'' he said.
"Our compassion and our hearts go out to Thomas's family.
"To Ralph and Kathy, to Stuart and to Madeleine.''
Other speakers touched briefly on the violence that led to Thomas's death and the pain it had caused.
His father said today's service is about "remembering our son, and how much he meant to us".
Tom only graduated from the school last year. His brother Stuart is in Year 9.
There was a strong police presence at the service.
The Kelly's requested today be "all about Thomas", not about the horrific circumstances in which he died.
"We want to celebrate his life," Mr Kelly said.

Rev Edwards said Tom had just started to settle into life. He was happy with the world and "blossoming", when he tragically died on June 9.
He said it was a privilege to have Tom's farewell at his old school.
"Only a short while ago Tom sat in this very chapel with his year 12 cohorts...and looked forward to what life had in store," Rev Edwards said.
A brave and strong Mr Kelly told of the pride Tom brought him everyday.
"I frequently told him over the past few months that Kathy and I were so proud to be his parents," he said.
He remembered living in Sydney during the week with Tom, while they both worked there, and listening to his son's alarm go off at 6am every day.
"Despite my protests, he would always ignore it."
But he said it was during those months, he became so much closer to Tom, and they reconnected after Tom's three years at boarding school.
"At night we'd spend time talking about his life and friends," he said.
"He was a tremendously loyal friend...always respectful of others."
"Tom had bundles and bundles of talents. Music, drums and guitar. We frequently had his music fill our house."
He told mourners he got an update this week of the four patients who had recieved his son's organs.
"Thomas lives on in the four recipients of his organs, and the future babies who will receive his heart valves," Mr Kelly said.
