Police found the former Universal Store chief executive dead upstairs at the house, registered to his wife Tamra Josephson, during a teenage house party. The boy was refused police bail and is due to appear in Brisbane Children's Court on Friday morning. Acting Assistant Commissioner Rhys Wildman said an altercation took place between the 15-year-old and the 58-year-old man, who are believed to be known to each other. The charge levelled against the teenager was for domestic violence murder. It is alleged a household implement was used. A 15-year-old boy was found near the property and has been charged with murder 'There was some sort of altercation that's resulted in this 58-year-old male tragically, losing his life,' the acting assistant commissioner told The Courier Mail. 'It's not a case of carrying knives, it's unfortunately allotted in a home. 'Police are not looking for any other party, so it was an individual, the 15-year-old is the sole offender that we believe was involved in this incident. 'The guests at the party were not involved in the incident as it unfolded.' Officers found the 15-year-old boy near the property, on Barlow Street, and took him into custody. He was refused police bail and has been scheduled to appear in Brisbane Childrens Court on Friday. Inspector Jane Healy told Channel 7's Sunrise that police attending the house came across a 'confusing and confronting scene'. 'We are still establishing a timeline of what has happened.' The Child Protection Investigation Unit is investigating the incident. Police have appealed to anyone who may have information that could assist, or who may have CCTV or dashcam footage from the area, to come forward. A neighbour has described the shock she felt when the incident occurred. 'I did hear the police go down the street,' she said on Friday. 'I didn't think something like this was going to happen so close. [It's a] bit of a shock.' The six-bedroom property has been currently listed as for sale on for 43 days. The upmarket home features a swimming pool, six bathrooms and two parking spaces. It was sold in 2016 for $1,910,000 and the median property prices in Clayfield over the last year range from $1,880,000 for houses.
