Four more teens charged with Queensland man's murder

Four additional teenagers have been charged with murder in connection with the death of a 21-year-old man in Logan, a suburb south of Brisbane, according to prosecutors. The victim was discovered unconscious with severe head injuries on Orchard Avenue in Bahrs Scrub on July 26, following reports of an unruly house party on Discovery Boulevard. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries on August 1. This brings the total number of individuals accused of his murder to nine.

The latest arrests were made on Sunday when four teens - three aged 18 and one 17-year-old - were apprehended at Morayfield. They are set to appear in court on the same day. Earlier this week, on Thursday, three other teenagers - Joshua Jackson John Jirima, 18, Amnaud Nduwayo, 19, and Kandour Khalil Tagelsir, 18 - were charged with murder.

A fourth teenager, Sunday Obol, 19, was also charged with murder, intimidation, harassment or abuse, unlawful stalking, robbery, extortion, and deprivation of liberty. Additionally, a 22-year-old was charged with violating an order to provide information necessary to access electronically stored information.

The police have expressed gratitude for the community's substantial cooperation in the investigation, particularly the residents, community leaders, and representatives who have collaborated with investigators and encouraged members of the public to provide information.
