Murder in Nundah
I’m sure it’s just part of ‘live in the big city’, but still, when someone gets bashed, robbed and left dead in a pool of blood in the road, in your suburb, you stop and have a granny moment: “What is the world coming to…”

At 2am on Sunday morning, two passing drivers reported they had found a body on the corner of Bage Street and Buckland Road in Nundah village centre. This intersection is right outside the State primary school, which our children attend.

The victim was 40-year old bloke (subsequently identified) had been set-upon after a night out at the Royal English Pub in Nundah, where he was a local.

(Personally, I don’t know how anyone could actually stick-it out at the Royal English until that late, but nevertheless he did.)

A man and a women from the Sunshine Coast have been arrested and are kindly helping police with their inquires.

This is the first murder (that I know of) that has occurred anywhere vaguely near where I live and public safety has never been a real concern of mine, where ever I have lived.

Hopefully this won’t change....
