An aspiring rapper and his OnlyFans model girlfriend have been revealed as the couple accused of allegedly torturing and burying alive a young man who later died from horrific injuries as chilling new details emerge.
Cooper Anthony William Bunney, 23, and his girlfriend Bella-Louise Rose Scheibel, 21, have been charged with a series of serious crimes, including torture and murder, in the death of 23-year-old Samuel Wilcox.
Wilcox was found with critical head injuries at the couple’s rural property in Mount Mee, 85 kilometers north of Brisbane, last Wednesday night after emergency services were called to reports of an alleged assault.
It is understood Mr Wilcox was found partially buried alive.
He was rushed to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition, but died two days later.
Bella-Louise Rose Scheibel (above), 21, was charged with 10 felonies, including torture and murder.

Police later revealed that Scheibel was the one who called emergency services.
Court documents revealed that Mr Wilcox’s alleged ordeal began on April 29, two days before he was found.
Police described the alleged attack as occurring over a “reasonably long period of time,” according to the mail.
“The victim has suffered multiple injuries (and the cause of death) will be determined by a pathologist,” Acting Detective Inspector Joe Zitny said.
All three parties were known to each other and also to the police.
It is understood Scheibel and Bunney only lived at the Mount Mee property for several weeks before the alleged incident.
Detective Inspector Zitny reportedly said the theory that the alleged murder had a possible drugs connection was “one of the lines of inquiry” investigators were looking at.
Bunney and Scheibel professed their love for each other in February of last year.
‘No matter what it is, you will always be my number one, you make life so much more pleasant. I always love you Cooper Bunney, never forget it,” Scheibel wrote on Facebook.

Bunney responded: ‘I love you bby xoxo mwahh,’ followed by a love heart.
Bunney, who went by “Bugs Bunny” on social media, described himself as an “artist.”
In one of his Instagram stories he invited his 155 followers to listen to his ‘barz’ in a clip in which he appears rapping in front of the camera while smoking a cigarette.
Scheibel, who has a snake tattoo on her right arm and describes herself as a “pharmacy/drugstore” on Instagram, is an Onlyfans model.
‘I’ll do almost ANYTHING! Send me a message and you will receive it,” his bio on the site says.
Mount Mee is a 90-minute drive northwest of Brisbane and directly west of Caboolture.
Scheibel has been charged with 10 crimes.
These include murder, common assault, deprivation of liberty, incapacity to commit a serious crime, serious bodily injury, observations or recordings that violate the privacy of the genital or anal region, serious assault on a police officer, torture, wounding and unlawful possession of weapons.
He next appears at Caboolture Magistrates Court on May 7.
Bunney faces the same charges, apart from serious assault on a police officer, and next appears at Caboolture Magistrates Court on July 4.
