Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has demanded answers after it was revealed the 17-year-old who allegedly killed a pregnant Brisbane woman and her partner was out on bail.

Kate Leadbetter, 31, and Matty Field, 37, were walking their dogs in Alexandra Hills on Tuesday when an allegedly stolen Land Cruiser ran a red light and rolled into them.

Appearing on Sunrise, Palaszczuk said: “I want to know why the courts allowed this young man out on bail.”
