A man arrested over the alleged serious assault of a 61-year-old man at Stoney Camp Road at Park Ridge South on September 29, has had his charge upgraded to murder.
Emergency crews were called at approximately 7.30pm following reports a man had been struck in the head, causing him to fall to the ground, where he was allegedly struck multiple times.
