Brisbane, Australia – Two men faced court on charges of torture, kidnapping, and other offenses, while police are searching for two others in connection to a violent attack on a woman. The victim was taken from a home in Doolandella and assaulted before being placed into a vehicle and transported to a property at Forest Lake. According to Queensland Police Acting Inspector Michael Hogan, a firearm was discharged into the vehicle, but fortunately, no one was injured.
The quick action of a member of the public led officers to an address in Stafford Heights, resulting in the arrest of four men, two of whom were later released. The 18 and 20-year-old suspects have been charged with a range of serious offenses, including armed robbery and torture. Despite the traumatic experience, the woman has been released from the hospital after suffering non-life-threatening injuries.
Acting Inspector Hogan emphasized the victim’s ordeal and stated that she had been significantly shaken and traumatized. Queensland Police are urging two additional men to come forward for questioning about their alleged involvement. Although there is no indication of gang involvement at this stage, investigators are leaving no stone unturned in their inquiries.
Crime scenes were established at three properties, and a vehicle was taken away for forensic examination as the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information or footage from the area has been asked to come forward to assist with the case. As the investigation continues, the authorities are assuring the public that there is no wider threat to the community.
