Teenagers Charged with Murder in Brisbane | Australia News

Seven teens, including two girls just 14 and 15, now face murder charges after a 27-year-old died nearly two weeks after being assaulted and his car stolen — the first time teenage girls have been charged under Queensland’s “adult crime, adult time” laws. Seven of the original nine suspects were upgraded to murder charges, bringing the total number of juveniles facing life sentences under these harsh new rules to eleven. A 17-year-old was remanded in custody, while six others remain detained with court dates set for later this month and early September. The assault occurred July 24 in Brisbane’s inner north; police are urgently seeking dashcam and CCTV footage from Victoria Park Road and Barter Avenue, as well as witnesses who may have seen a dark SUV or blue sedan that night — anyone with info is urged to come forward.
