US EditionVeteran Photographer Dies After Alleged Melbourne Mall Assault
- Dominic O'Brien, a 62-year-old veteran Australian photojournalist, died in hospital after an alleged assault in Melbourne's inner west on June 15, 2023.
- The alleged assailant, 43-year-old Friday Yokoju, was previously held in immigration detention and was freed in November 2023 following a landmark High Court decision that declared indefinite detention unlawful in certain circumstances.
- Yokoju was arrested the same day as the assault, charged with intentionally causing serious injury, and was monitored electronically via a bridging visa at the time of the incident.
- Victoria police indicated they may upgrade the charges against Yokoju to reflect O'Brien's death after receiving post-mortem findings, with Yokoju scheduled to appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court on October 20, 2023.
- The case raises scrutiny on immigration detention systems and electronic monitoring programs, highlighting broader accountability concerns related to detainees released under federal supervision.
