 I'm here to announce that this afternoon a 33 year old Banyo man has been charged with break and enter with intent with the number of circumstances of aggravation, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and also unlawful wounding. These matters relate to the serious assault of a 72 year old manly woman at Oceana Terrace on the 27th of October 2012. The man will appear in the Wynnum magistrates court tomorrow morning and he will be strenuously opposed. Can you tell us a little bit about the arrest? Was he arrested in Queensland? He was arrested in Queensland. The actual specifics of the investigation because the matters are now before the court, I can't comment on them. But I'd like to take this opportunity to thank members of the public who did contact police after our initial media request and who provided information and I must say without their assistance it may possibly that this matter may have gone unsolved. So I'd like to again take the opportunity to thank them and also to encourage anyone who's got any information about any criminal activity to actually contact crime stoppers on 1800 triple three triple zero and provide that information. They can do that anonymously to help actually solve serious matters such as this. What was the response to crime stoppers? We did receive a number of sources and people actually contacted through crime stoppers and they also contacted police directly. So if people aren't confident in contacting police directly we'd encourage them to contact crime stoppers. How much is the relief for not only police but elderly people living in this area? This man's been apprehended? Well certainly this is what I'd regard as a serious quite disturbing and heinous sort of offence, you know, elderly lady in the sort of sanctity of her own home to be savaged and to actually receive the injuries that she did which were quite significant, significant facial injuries, you know, it doesn't get much worse than that in my view. But, you know, she has been advised of the arrest and she's quite appreciative of the police efforts and in to bring this matter to a conclusion so far. How's she going overall? Well as you can imagine I've been informed that the physical, the actual injuries themselves are healing but as you can imagine I believe that herself and the family is still quite traumatised which is quite understandable with the incident and so hopefully this may bring her some sort of closure. Is he being looked at over other matters? There are a number of other charges, property offences that don't relate to this matter that have been preferred against him. Just with the crime stoppers, can you say whether you received dozens of calls or more? Again specifically I'm unable to actually address how many calls we've got in relation to this and how many sources of information came direct from the public but needless to say we do appreciate certainly the community's assistance. In fact we can't operate without community assistance and community support and it's matters like this that where they, the community comes together and actually does provide information and it does actually prove results such as this. Do the other offences relate to crimes in this area, in the mental area? Some relate to this area and certainly other various areas through our prison. Over a period of roughly, how long? Again specifically I can't sort of comment on the specifics of the charges once they're before the courts but certainly there's been a number of charges preferred against him. Can you imagine this operation's been fairly linked to the police? Certainly the winning district CIB who preferred the charges have taken this matter extremely seriously and the resources by the Queensland Police Service to bring this to a conclusion were quite extensive. Certainly I know my officers were tirelessly to locate an apprehendous offender and certainly to provide that there's sufficient evidence to place him before the courts.
