Two teenage girls will be charged with the murder and torture of Cian English, 19, who fell to his death from a Gold Coast apartment.
Key points:
- Two girls allegedly filmed the torture and robbery of Mr English and friends
- Mr English was found with two injuries believed to have been caused by a knife
- Police expect to lay charges this afternoon
Mr English's body was found at the bottom of the View Pacific Resort in Surfers Paradise just after 3:00am on Saturday May 23.
Police have previously alleged Mr English had been staying at the hotel with friends and partying when they went upstairs to a unit where another group of people, not known to them, were also partying.
Today, Detective Inspector Brendan Smith alleged that after some time, three men in that unit tortured Mr English and his friend, while another of his friends was unconscious on the balcony.
Detective Inspector Smith said the two girls, aged 15 and 16 from Coomera on the Gold Coast, filmed the incident and that a number of videos were posted to social media.
He said Mr English tried to escape the ordeal and fell to his death.
The unconscious friend then allegedly had his clothing stolen.
Detective Inspector Smith said Mr English was found with injuries to his chin and arm, allegedly inflicted by a knife.
The girls were arrested this morning and will be charged with murder, armed robbery, deprivation of liberty, torture and stealing.
Three men, aged 18, 20 and 22, were charged two days after the incident with one count of murder, armed robbery and deprivation of liberty.
It was announced today they will also be charged with stealing and torture offences.
