Neighbour bashes party goers - Qld, Stanthorpe

The Chronicle
26th November 2009


A MAN wrongly accused of dobbing in his partying neighbours to police used a large stick to repeatedly bash two party-goers in Stanthorpe.

One of the victims was so severely beaten with the 1.5 metre stick that police believed he had a fractured skull.

Stanthorpe Police acting senior sergeant Tim Dachs said another neighbour had called police on Sunday night to make a noise complaint against a resident who was holding a party.

Police attended the gathering and requested the group to keep the noise down.

Act Snr Sgt Dachs said two party-goers, a man and woman in their 30s, confronted a neighbour in Lock Street about calling the police.

This middle-aged man did not call the police but started a fight with the pair anyway.

He grabbed the stick and repeatedly struck the pair in the head...
