Ellery’s sister Talitha Ellery spoke to the media for the first time since her brother’s death. 

She said the family ‘knew he was scared’ but they did not know why. 

Other’s who spoke with the bulletin only did so on the condition of anonymity. 

One friend said Ellery had confided in her that he was a ‘police informant’ just one month before his death. 

Ellery's sister Talitha Ellery also spoke to the media for the first time since her brother's death saying the family sensed he was scared of something

She said Ellery made the startling confession while she was driving him home to meet police. 

‘I find it very odd that a month before (the deaths), I had to get him back to his house to meet up with police. He decided to tell me something. I said ‘What is it?’…and he said ‘You can’t tell anyone’ … ‘I’m a police informant,’ she told the Gold Coast Bulletin. 

‘He said ‘I’m pretending to be part of Satudarah to inform police what they are doing and they are paying me for it’. And that is why I can’t settle with what has happened.’

Another friend said Ellery was in the most erratic state they had seen from him in the weeks leading up to his death. 

‘The last time I saw Bronson he looked like he was on something and I know Bronson was trying to stay away from the ice and gets his life on track but the night I went there I had never seen him so scared,’ she said. 

He also allegedly told other friends he thought people were after him, on one occasion he was outside his home with a friend when a black commodore drove past slowly.

The friend said that was enough to spook Ellery at the time.  

Ellery allegedly killed his girlfriend on November 11, 2016 in their Gold Coast apartment while other people were inside. 

It’s alleged he beat and strangled Shelsea Shilling to death before committing suicide by injecting himself with a ‘hot shot’.  

A hot shot is a portion of drugs which has been spiked with poison in order to cause almost immediate death.

Ellery allegedly left a suicide note, which his family has never been allowed to see, as well as note to the family of Shelsea Shilling, apologising for killing the woman. 

Ellery’s family say they were never afforded the opportunity to identify his body or even see his suicide note. 

The Gold Coast Bulletin contacted Queensland Police for confirmation of the suicide note but were told that no comment would be made until the coroner’s investigation had concluded.
