He was found unresponsive in a home in the exclusive Brisbane suburb of Clayfield on Thursday night after the stabbing.

Police arrested the 15-year-old boy in a street nearby about 8.15pm after he called triple-0.

The boy, who Mr Josephson knew, has been charged with murder after the party, which had up to 30 teenagers in attendance.

It’s understood the teen had an injury to his hand after the alleged stabbing.

Footage obtained by The Courier-Mail shows the teen walking in a bin area of a local cafe just minutes before his arrest.

Mr Josephson founded the Universal Store business with his brother Michael in 1999 and later sold the business to private equity investors in a reported deal worth $100m.
