Thanks to former DET SC Crowls for the tip!
A father in far north Queensland was stabbed to death with a pair of scissors by his son on New Year's Day, police allege, with forensic officers searching the property for the weapon.
Police said they were called to a residence on Farm Road in the Indigenous community of Palm Island about 5:00pm on Monday to reports a 52-year-old man had been stabbed in the neck during an altercation at a social gathering.
He was taken to the Townsville Hospital for emergency surgery, but died a few hours later.
The man's 19-year-old son was charged with his murder overnight.
