Qld party death prompts Facebook warning

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 02 Desember 2012 | 11.25

A BIRTHDAY celebration that spiralled out of control near Brisbane has left a teenager dead and a man facing a possible murder charge, prompting police to warn about the dangers of promoting parties on social media.

Police say between 100 to 150 people were at the party at Station Road, Woodridge when a brawl erupted and spilled on to the street.

A 17-year-old boy was seriously injured in a hit-and-run during the fracas and later died in hospital.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and callous disregard, but is yet to be charged.

His car has been seized and is undergoing forensic testing.

Acting Superintendent Darren Harland says the party was gatecrashed after it was advertised on Facebook.

"(There is) the potential for uninvited people to arrive at your party and if you advertise on social media, this can be one of the consequences," Supt Harland told reporters in Logan on Sunday.

Detective Inspector Christopher Jorry said the victim's family were in shock, but may release a statement later on Sunday.

"We're providing them with the support they need and deserve, but they are a large family, they come from a close-knit family community and they're offering support to each other," he said.

Nearby resident Asmatullah Nasrullahi said he heard people swearing and yelling on the street before seeing a car speed away.

"I was a bit scared because I was at home by myself," he told AAP.

"I could just tell by the noise outside that something was going to happen."

Mr Nasrullahi said he was not surprised the incident occurred in his street.

"This is a low income area and the kids who live here don't have any chance for a good life," he said.

Insp Jorry rejected witness accounts the brawl was either gang or racially motivated.

"There's nothing to suggest that from our investigations at all," he said.

Police on Sunday were doorknocking residents in the street as they continued their investigations.
