A Queensland woman believed to have been killed in a suspected murder-suicide had penned a haunting poem about her ex-partner’s violent behaviour.
Shelsea Schilling’s mother posted the piece to Facebook this morning, just two days after the 20-year-old’s body was found alongside that of notorious former bikie, Bronson “Lizard Man” Ellery, 24, at a Southport apartment.
“Shelsea wrote this when Bronson was in jail and was scared for her life,” Bonnie Markwell Mobbs posted.

Among the poem's more haunting passages: "He had hopes to de-rail me; Box me up and chain me; The man I had I don't even know anymore; So easily he would throw me to the floor and watch me pour; Without hesitation, he's unpredictable; What he's done is unforgivable."
It finishes, "They think they’re living life right. All they want to do is win the fight. There’s people that act and people that do. People that follow through. Follow through with thoughts they have in their head. The type of thinking where people end up dead.”
