A man has been killed after intervening in an altercation involving his wife and two others at his home in Queensland.
The man died about 8pm on Friday after coming to assist his wife and another woman, who were embroiled in an altercation with another man out the back of flats at Torquay in Hervey Bay, police say.
“He heard a bit of a commotion between this male and the two ladies, one of which was his wife,” Detective Inspector Gary Pettiford told reporters on Saturday.
“He then went downstairs to help them where he was confronted by the male offender and he subsequently lost his life as the result of that second altercation.”
Det Insp Pettiford said no weapon was involved and a forensic examination would determine the extent of the alleged victim’s injuries.
The victim’s wife was assaulted as part of the incident and taken to hospital, and has since been released, Det Insp Pettiford said.
