Revealed: The mystery woman with accused killer chef Jacob Greig when he allegedly murdered Isaac, 15, near Wilton in south-west Sydney
EXCLUSIVE
A chef accused of killing a 15-year-old boy late at night was in a car with a former female colleague at the time of the alleged stabbing, while his heavily pregnant fiancée was at home.
It is alleged the teenager, Isaac, came across the red Hyundai i30 of duck breeder Johanna Martin, 21, on a side road near Wilton, southwest of Sydney.
But when he tried to get into the car and ripped off the rear door handle, father-of-one Jacob Greig, 32, reportedly got out and confronted him.
The chef is then accused of slashing the boy with a knife before the startled couple drove away as the boy jumped on the car and then fell into the undergrowth.
The teenager’s body was discovered in bushland the next morning by his friends who initially thought he had left the campsite and gone home.
The deadly confrontation is said to have happened after Ms Martin met Greig after his shift at the Bargo Hotel ended at around 10pm on Friday, November 8.
The pair then drove to a remote area near Maldon Weir in Wilton when Isaac approached them and pulled the door handle.
Police, who have since seized the car, claim video and audio of the incident from nearby CCTV captured the altercation.

“I must do my duty to the community and refuse him bail.”

Family friend Donna Young has started a GoFundMe to help his struggling parents with funeral expenses.
“Izak was a beloved son, brother and friend. His life, full of promise and potential, was tragically cut short because of an (alleged) act of senseless violence,” she wrote.
“Isaac’s family – his mother, father and siblings – now face the unimaginable pain of not only grieving the loss of their precious son, but also dealing with the overwhelming costs associated with such a sudden tragedy to go.’
The fundraising page, which will cover the costs of his funeral and support his family and traumatized friends, has raised almost $30,000 to date.
