Veteran Photographer Dies After Alleged Melbourne Mall Assault
- Dominic O'Brien, a 62-year-old veteran Australian photojournalist, died in hospital on Saturday after an alleged assault in Melbourne's inner west on June 15.
- The assault occurred at Nicholson and Paisley streets in Footscray, where 43-year-old Friday Yokoju, recently released from immigration detention, allegedly attacked O'Brien.
- Yokoju was arrested and accused of causing serious harm, remains detained, and during a recent court session, his attorney sought an immediate psychiatric evaluation.
- Police are reviewing the charges against Yokoju to possibly include O'Brien's death, depending on postmortem findings, and he is due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court in relation to the case on October 20.
- O'Brien's death has drawn scrutiny to monitoring systems for detainees like Yokoju, who was part of a High Court-ordered release of over 200 detainees after indefinite detention was ruled unconstitutional.
