A man has been charged with murder after a violent confrontation at a Far North Queensland taxi rank.
Police allege an argument broke out between two men, aged 28 and 30, on Edith Street at Innisfail in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Detective Inspector Kevin Goan said the 28-year-old man was punched repeatedly in the head until he was knocked to the ground.
Emergency services attempted CPR but he could not be revived. Our investigations show that the offender appears intent on having an altercation of some sort with his victim, Detective Inspector Goan said.
