Quiet Morning Turns Violent

The stabbing occurred early Monday morning, June 9, at a home on Bellbird Street in Inala. Police arrived just after 6am to find 35-year-old Thanh Minh Tran with serious stab wounds to his abdomen and limbs. 

He was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in critical condition. A short time later, police arrested 33-year-old Duc Minh Doan about 15 minutes from the scene, allegedly still in possession of a knife. Investigators say the two men knew each other, though their relationship has not been officially confirmed.

Charges Laid and Court Appearance

Doan has been charged with attempted murder. He faced Brisbane Magistrates Court the following day but did not appear in person. The matter was briefly mentioned and has been adjourned until June 17 at Richlands Magistrates Court, where he will appear via video link. No application for bail was made.

Police have confirmed that a crime scene was established at the home and say there is no ongoing threat to the public. Investigations are continuing as officers work to piece together the events leading up to the stabbing.
