A teenager has been charged with murder after a man was allegedly stabbed in an upmarket inner city Brisbane suburb during a house party. Distressed teenagers are being spoken to by police after a man’s fatal stabbing at a Brisbane house party packed with dozens of young people.
The boy, 15, is accused of attacking the 58-year-old at a large home in Clayfield on Thursday night. Police have charged a 15-year-old boy with murder after the 58-year-old’s body was found inside a large home in the upmarket inner-city suburb of Clayfield on Thursday night.
When Queensland police went to the house in the tree-lined street they found a large group of teenagers as well as the body. Officers responded to a call about 8.15pm on Thursday and arrived at a Clayfield residence hosting a party with “around 30” teenagers present, police said.
The man and boy were known to each other, police will allege. “I can confirm that there was a party under way at the house with a number of young persons,” Detective Acting Supt Craig Williams told reporters on Friday.
The boy was charged with one count of domestic violence-related murder and refused police bail to appear in a children’s court on Friday. Officers found the man’s body inside, but most of the teens were unaware of what had happened, he said.
More details soon … “It was a confusing situation,” Det Williams said.

“At this stage the initial investigation indicates that no other persons were involved other than the 15-year-old boy,” Det Williams alleged.
He confirmed police had also located the alleged weapon.
The boy was taken into custody, with a number of teens at the party assisting police.
The 15-year-old was later taken to hospital.
“No others were taken into custody,” Det Williams said.
“A number of the teens who were at the address are assisting with inquiries and were brought back to stations to have their parents contacted.
“It’s distressing for the family. It’s distressing for the community and for … innocent people who are at the house who have nothing to do with it, so all possible supports being offered to those people.”
The boy was charged with one count of murder and refused police bail.
His case was mentioned in a children’s court on Friday and adjourned until 2 September.
