The partner of an alleged fugitive wanted by Western Australian police has issued a bizarre public statement, pleading for the man she calls a "sexy bush critter" to return home.
A Strange Public Appeal
The unusual plea centres on Kenneth Giles, a 33-year-old man from Perth who is currently wanted by authorities. Giles is alleged to have breached a family violence restraining order and failed to appear in court. His partner, whose identity has not been publicly released, took to social media to make a direct and peculiar appeal for his return.
In a statement shared online, she addressed Giles directly with affectionate and unconventional language. "To my sexy bush critter, I love you and miss you," the statement began. It continued with a plea for him to contact her or his lawyer, expressing concern for his wellbeing. The message concluded with, "Please come home, we can work this out."
Police Warnings and Serious Allegations
This personal appeal stands in stark contrast to the official warnings issued by Western Australia Police. Authorities have advised the public not to approach Giles if seen, but instead to contact police immediately. He is wanted on several serious matters.
Giles is allegedly involved in two separate incidents reported in May 2024. Police allege that on May 8, he was involved in a dispute in the Perth suburb of Wattle Grove. Furthermore, he is accused of being involved in another incident just four days later, on May 12, in the suburb of Huntingdale. The specific nature of these incidents has not been detailed in public reports, but they are connected to the restraining order breach.
He was scheduled to face the Armadale Magistrates Court on June 11 but failed to appear, leading to the issuance of a warrant for his arrest. The police have described Giles as being approximately 180cm tall with a solid build, brown hair, and brown eyes. His last known location was in the Huntingdale area.
Community Reaction and Ongoing Search
The partner's statement has generated significant attention and confusion online, with many questioning the unusual choice of words during a serious police investigation. The term "sexy bush critter" has become a point of public discussion, overshadowing the gravity of the legal situation.
Despite the personal appeal, WA Police continue their active search for Giles. They are urging anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or to make a report online. The police reiterate that the public should not attempt to apprehend the man themselves.
This case highlights the complex intersection of personal relationships and legal proceedings. While Giles's partner makes an emotional plea for his return, the justice system seeks his apprehension to answer the allegations before the court. The situation remains unresolved as the search continues.
