Convicted teen killer in Brisbane court charged with attempted murder over alleged Zillmere home invasion

A South East Queensland teen jailed for killing Angus Beaumont when he was 14 has returned to court as an adult charged with attempted murder following an alleged home invasion in Brisbane’s north.

A young man who was aged 14 when he killed Angus Beaumont has returned to court as an adult charged with attempted murder in a separate case.

The Logan man was sentenced in February, aged 18, to five-and-a-half years’ detention for the stabbing manslaughter of 15-year-old Angus.

It’s understood he was released about the same time, after serving half the sentence.

Now age 19, he has returned to court charged with attempted murder over an incident alleged to have occurred just six months after his release.

It’s alleged the defendant, along with two co-accused, forcibly entered a home at Zillmere in Brisbane’s north on Monday while armed with a handgun.

Once inside, it’s alleged a confrontation took place with a 21-year-old Strathpine man, during which the handgun was discharged a number of times.

The three co-accused allegedly fled the scene in a white station wagon.
