Queensland juvenile murder charges

Overview

Seven teenagers have been charged with murder following a violent carjacking at the Queensland University of Technology in Kelvin Grove. The incident occurred on July 24, when a 27-year-old man was allegedly assaulted and his vehicle was stolen.

The victim died on August 6 from life-threatening injuries. Consequently, police upgraded the charges against the suspects, which include five boys aged 15 to 17 and two girls aged 14 and 15. Under Queensland’s “adult crime, adult time” laws, the suspects face potential life sentences. This case is noted as the first time two female juveniles have been charged with murder under this specific legislation.
