Horrified witnesses have relived the disturbing sound of a young mother allegedly being run over by her ex-partner’s new girlfriend, as details emerge of a viral sex act meme the accused killer posted on the day of the alleged murder.
Kiesha Thompson, 23, was allegedly hit by a Toyota LandCruiser Prado in Daisy Hill, south of Brisbane, on Friday morning as she walked home along a footpath after dropping her daughter off at daycare.
A local resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said he was in his yard when he heard a loud bang and then the sound of a car (allegedly) speeding away.
He ran outside and saw Mrs Thompson lying in the street and his neighbour, a shopkeeper, frantically performing CPR on her. Another neighbour, a nurse, also ran to give the young mother first aid.
“She had a bump on her head but she didn’t really look that hurt… there wasn’t a lot of blood,” she told Daily Mail Australia.
“Ambulance crews arrived shortly after and took her to hospital.”
The man said it appeared Ms Thompson had been thrown into the air before landing about 20 metres from a spot where dark marks were left in the gutter.

Ms. Thompson was reportedly left lying on the street near the intersection sign.
“I hadn’t seen her around here before, but it has shocked the local community,” the resident said.
‘It is very sad.’
Despite the efforts of first responders and paramedics, Ms Thompson later died in hospital.
Ms Thompson’s former partner Tyler Scott William James, 27, and Larissa Rita Mae-Leigh Sant, 24, have been accused of Domestic violence murder and are in custody while their matters remain before the courts.
Sant’s social media posts offer a glimpse into a whirlwind new romance in the weeks leading up to the tragedy.
Just five months ago, Sant shared a video on TikTok reflecting on how she would be single for Valentine’s Day.
However, just four days later, she revealed that she was in love with a new person in her life.

Police officers have been guarding the house around the clock since Sant’s arrest on Saturday afternoon.
Half of the backyard was overgrown with weeds, and neighbors said that section of the yard had remained largely unmaintained since the family moved in two years ago.
Abandoned toys were found in the yard on Wednesday, including toy cars and bicycles.
“Just when I thought I was in my I-don’t-need-a-man era… Then you came along and now I’m smiling at my phone like a little girl in love,” she wrote on Feb. 18.
Over the next few months, she continued to share snippets about their blossoming romance and in March revealed her relationship status was single but “(fwb)” – an abbreviation for a casual sexual relationship, “friends with benefits.”
In May, she announced (while lip-syncing to a song about one day finding love) that she had “found it.”
On July 10, less than two weeks before the alleged murder, she exclaimed that she had fallen in love, writing: ‘Falling/falling now stuck forever.’
Police will allege Sant spent “a prolonged amount of time” driving around the Daisy Hill area before the alleged attack.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Sant, a young mother of three children aged between three and five, continued to post on TikTok on the day of the alleged murder.
In one post, she commented on TikTok’s new viral meme, Huak Tuah, a term that refers to spitting during a sexual act.
In another, he commented on a post about liking a song.
Five days after the tragedy, plainclothes detectives could be seen visiting the homes of local residents as they continue to search the area for CCTV footage.
Officers also remained stationed outside Sant’s home in Goodna, about 30 kilometres away, and neighbours said police have not left the scene since Sant was arrested on Saturday.
Tyler James, 27 (pictured), is the father of Ms Thompson’s daughter and is believed to have another child from a previous relationship.
Police show up at James’ home in Acacia Ridge on Tuesday.
Plumbers are seen being escorted onto the property.
Officers and detectives are seen speaking with plumbers after repair work was completed.
While Sant was arrested in nearby Yamanto, a neighbor said officers had towed a car from Goodna’s residence over the weekend and sniffer dogs were brought in to assist with the raid on the home.
One woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she had not seen much of Sant since he moved into the property two years ago, although she often heard his three children playing outside in the backyard.
“The kids were outside, climbing on a retaining wall. Sometimes I would hear them yelling ‘Mom’ for about 15 minutes, trying to get her attention, but I never saw her come out,” he said.
‘Sometimes they were also naked in the yard. The boys were here on Saturday, before leaving in an Uber.’
Children’s toys, including a trampoline, bicycles and trucks, could be seen scattered around the backyard on Wednesday, which was partially overgrown with vegetation.
Meanwhile, officers were seen standing guard at James’ home in Acacia Ridge on Tuesday night as they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Ms Thompson’s death.
Two plumbers arrived at the home and spent several hours fixing a leak after being contacted by police.
Daily Mail Australia understands Ms Thompson previously lived at that address with James before their relationship ended several months ago.
A neighbor said he had seen James around the neighborhood and women sitting on the front porch of his house, but he had never spoken to them.
“People here tend to stay away,” he said. “But what (allegedly) happened is really sad.”
Sant and James are due back in Beenleigh Magistrates’ Court on July 31, where their cases will be heard together as part of a pretrial hearing.
