Man stabbed in neck after fight at mall

24 year old Lauie Micheal Tagalo was stabbed in a Brunswick Street Mall at around 4am. Witnesses and paramedics failed to revive him.

The 20 year old Seyram Kwami Djentuh who stabbed Tagalo was charged with murder. The two other man assisted police with the investigation and where not charged.

It's not believed the two groups knew each other. And I could not get any info on what the groups where fighting about.

how is that a murder and not self defense ??

My guess is because instead of backing away he came back and tried to stab the man bopping his head around. Also in some country's killing someone in self defense when there are other options can be illegal. Running away after killing someone accident or not is also a crime. Failing to appear in court doesn’t help either.

He was backing away actually. I consider this self-defense

Technically he did defend himself. But I think the method was unnecessary. Already is carrying a knife for self defense illegal (Australia). According to the research I have done using more force than is threatened to you in the situation of self defense is not legal. So he would need to prove that using lethal force was the only option left. So my take on this is that he was the threat by pulling out a knife. And since the victim didn't seem to be armed, stabbing him in the neck wasn't really necessary.
