Man, 53, dead after being stabbed at Christmas family gathering in Ipswich

A 33-year-old man is in police custody over the stabbing death of his partner’s father late on Christmas Day at a house west of Brisbane.

Officers were called to a house in North Ipswich just before midnight, where a 53-year-old man was found in the front yard of a home with serious stab wounds.

“On arrival at that address police were confronted with a male person in the yard who had suffered significant wounds and subsequently provided CPR to that male person with QAS assistance,” Detective Acting Inspector Heath McQueen said.
