Three in custody after fracas in suburban Roma street

A wild suburban brawl on a Roma street saw multiple people allegedly doused in petrol, and another injured, with multiple people now charged over the fracas.

Three people remain in custody after a brawl on Holland St, Roma on Saturday afternoon.

Three people have been remanded in custody and a fourth person charged after a fracas erupted on a suburban Roma street at the weekend.

Officer in charge of Roma Police Station Senior Sergeant Duane Frank said police were called to an alleged disturbance on Holland St in Roma on June 29.

Sergeant Frank said police will allege a group of people had attended the Holland St house, and instigated a conflict with residents.

He said some victims were allegedly doused in petrol during the altercation.

Police have charged a 31-year-old man, a 20-year-old man, and a 22-year-old woman with forcible entry, affray, and threatening violence in relation to the alleged incident.

Christopher Raymond Hearn-Saffy, Layla Lee Joyce Fraser, and Lachlan James Hearn appeared in the Roma Magistrates Court on July 1, where they were refused bail.

The 31-year-old man will be remanded in custody until his next court appearance on August 21, while the 22-year-old woman and 20-year-old man will be remanded to appear on July 16.

A 39-year-old woman has also been charged with forcible entry, threatening violence and affray, but has been released on bail to appear in the Roma Magistrates Court on July 23.

Sergeant Frank described the alleged incident as “quite concerning from a police perspective”.

“We still need to speak with a number of other people,” he said.

He said police investigations into the incident are ongoing, and he expects more charges to be laid as police work to get to the bottom of what happened.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said a man in his 30s was taken to Roma hospital with a head injury in connection with the incident.

After further investigations, a 29-year-old man was also charged with forcible entry, threatening violence and affray, and is set to appear in Roma Magistrates Court on July 23.
