Murder charge over death in suburban park
A man has been charged with murder over the death of 29-year-old Trevor Doyle. Mr Doyle was found dead on a footpath at Reserve Park at Slacks Creek, in Brisbane's south, on Wednesday morning by a local resident. Having initially suspected Mr Doyle met someone at the park before an attack, police on Sunday charged a 28-year-old Slacks Creek man with his murder. He was additionally charged with breaching a domestic violence order and drug offences, after police raided two houses on Sunday morning. He is set to face the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday. Speaking a day after the body was found, police indicated Mr Doyle went to the park on Tuesday night between 7pm and Wednesday morning. They did not know how long he had been dead in the park, and could not find a weapon in the immediate area. Friends took to social media to pay tribute to Mr Doyle, fondly remembered for being a good friend at the Indigenous Murri School in Brisbane and a keen dancer.

Man arrested after 'violent assault' in High Town
A MAN has been arrested after a "fight" between two men in High Town. A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) following a fight involving two men in Hereford last night (Saturday, August 16). Police received multiple calls from members of the public reporting an assault in progress in the Commercial Street area of Hereford city centre around 11.30pm. A spokesperson for West Mercia Poice said it was established that an isolated violent assault had taken place with the victim – a man in his 40s - being punched and falling to the ground, hitting his head. No other persons and no weapons were involved. The victim sustained a serious head injury and was taken to hospital. The suspect fled the scene but was quickly tracked down thanks to the help of public witnesses and an off-duty police officer. A man was then detained by response officers. A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of assault GBH and remains in police custody helping with enquiries. A scene guard has been lifted this morning, and we would like to thank members of the public for their patience while our investigations continue at the location. Detective Inspector Colin Berry said: 'A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault GBH following a violent attack in Hereford city centre last night. 'We would like to thank members of the public for their help in identifying a suspect in what was an isolated incident between two men which posed no wider risk to the public. 'We would also like to reassure people that there were no weapons involved despite some commentary on social media saying there were. 'A suspect was identified and promptly arrested and is helping us with our enquiries.'
