Police will allege a 66-year-old man was stabbed to death by a woman who had refused to move out of his Logan house.<\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to Lubach Street at Beenleigh on Tuesday afternoon, where they found Andrew Duncan Murray with multiple stab wounds.<\/p>\n
Officers and paramedics attempted CPR but he was declared dead shortly after they arrived.<\/p>\n
Police will allege Beenleigh woman Jillian Greer Francis, 43, and 47-year-old Karalee man Lindsay James Kohn had set upon Mr Murray when he forced his way into the house after being locked out.<\/p>\n
Both have since been charged with his murder.<\/p>\n
Detective Inspector Ian Galpin said Mr Murray man was a “well-liked and respected neighbour”.<\/p>\n

He said Mr Murray had invited the woman to live with him temporarily about four months ago, and that her co-accused had also stayed there.<\/p>\n
“Recently the 66-year-old man had asked for these people to vacate his premises, and they had refused,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Things escalated yesterday afternoon when the 66-year-old found himself to be locked out of his home, and at that point in time police will allege he was assaulted by both persons,” he said.<\/p>\n
Police said Ms Francis was disarmed by a neighbour, who then gave Mr Murray first aid.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge his actions, and the support he provided to this man at the time,” Detective Inspector Galpin said.<\/p>\n
Ms Francis is also charged with intent to maim or disfigure for allegedly striking out at the neighbour with a knife, narrowly missing him, Detective Inspector Galpin said.<\/p>\n
Detective Inspector Galpin said Mr Murray had offered Ms Francis a place to stay until she found somewhere permanent because he was “being a good neighbour”, but had since asked her and Mr Kohn several times to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He added the street was a “tight-knit community”.<\/p>\n
“There were neighbours out consoling one another last night, on what was obviously the loss of a well-liked and respected neighbour \u2026 our thoughts go out to the neighbours, friends and family of this man who has lost his life.”<\/p>\n
The co-accused had their matters heard at Brisbane Magistrates Court today.<\/p>\n
They have been remanded in custody and are next due to face court at Beenleigh on September 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police will allege a 66-year-old man was stabbed to death by a woman who had refused to move…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22,21,108227,3792,2770,1047,211,31124,212,1329],"class_list":["post-75386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-austrlia","tag-beenleigh","tag-homicide","tag-murder","tag-police","tag-qld","tag-qps","tag-queensland","tag-stabbing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
