Murder Charge for Seven Teens After Serious Assault
Police say the victim suffered life-threatening injuries before dying, and seven more teenagers were later charged after the stolen BYD was found nearby.
- On Thursday, seven teenagers had their charges upgraded to murder following a serious assault in Kelvin Grove, where the 27-year-old victim died at Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital on August 6.
- Police allege a group of teens assaulted a 27-year-old man on Victoria Park Road on July 24 and stole his blue BYD Shark 6, which was found abandoned on Barter Avenue in Holland Park the next day.
- The seven teens, aged 14 to 17, face potential life sentences under the Liberal National government's controversial "adult crime, adult time" laws introduced after the 2024 state election.
- Magistrate Anne Thacker remanded a 17-year-old boy in custody during a Brisbane Magistrates Court appearance on Friday, with six co-accused also remanded and matters adjourned until September 1.
- Police have renewed an appeal for dash cam and CCTV footage from July 24 between 9:30pm and 10:30pm on Victoria Park Road and between 11:30pm and 11:50pm on Barter Avenue. Investigators are also seeking two potential witnesses seen driving in the area.
