Natalie and Melanie Middleton say they were punched by homeowner Gavin Sutton when they went to his home to talk to his daughter Kelly Sutton. In his earlier evidence at their jury trial at Ipswich District Court, Mr Sutton said one of the sisters took a hunting knife from behind her back when he spoke to them outside his front door at Lower Tenthill, near Gatton. Melanie Maree Middleton, 33, and her sister Natalie Ann Middleton, 36, from Helidon went to trial after pleading not guilty to Crown prosecution charges that they attempted to enter a dwelling with intent at night/threaten violence when armed with a knife at Lower Tenthill on April 17, 2019; and one charge each of common assault.
