Four more teenagers have been charged with murder over the alleged bashing death of a 21-year-old at an out-of-control house party south of Brisbane.
Redbank Plains man Jongkuch Achiew died at Princess Alexandra Hospital after succumbing to head injuries he suffered at the gathering at Bahrs Scrub, a suburb in Logan, in the early hours of July 26.
Four male teenagers, all aged 18 or 19 years old, were arrested and charged on August 6 following investigations by detectives and homicide police.
On Sunday evening, four more were arrested and charged with murder after being found in Morayfield. One was 17 years old, and the others were 18. They were from Acacia Ridge, Sunnybank, Doolandella and Inala.
All were due to appear in court on Monday, with two in Richlands and two in Brisbane.
Police had been called to the party at a house on Discovery Boulevard in Bahrs Scrub just after 2am following reports of a large disturbance.
They found significant damage at a house and vehicles along the street.
People allegedly fled the scene as soon as officers arrived, and Achiew was found with significant head injuries on a nearby street.
He was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition but died after his life support was switched off less than a week later.
A 22-year-old Heathwood man has also been charged with one count of contravening an order about information necessary to access information stored electronically.
