A teenager accused of the murder of Brisbane businessman Greg Josephson has been committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court of Queensland, marking a significant development in a case that has drawn widespread public interest.
The accused, who was 15 years old at the time of the alleged offence in June 2025, appeared in the court via video link for a committal hearing. He did not enter a plea and remains in custody while the matter progresses through the court system.
Matter Formally Committed for Trial
The hearing was held to determine whether the prosecution’s case is sufficient to proceed to a higher court.
During proceedings, the court was told that the brief of evidence includes 104 witness statements. The matter was formally committed to the Supreme Court for trial at a future date. No trial date has yet been publicly announced.
When asked by the magistrate whether he wished to present evidence or say anything in answer to the charge, the teenager declined. He also chose not to enter a plea at this stage.
High-Profile Business Figure
Mr Josephson, 58, was found deceased at a Clayfield residence in June 2025.
Emergency services were originally called to the property following reports of a serious incident during a gathering. Police later arrested and charged a teenage boy with murder.
Mr Josephson was a prominent and well-known figure in Queensland’s retail sector, recognized nationally as a co-founder of the youth fashion retailer Universal Store.
As the case has not yet been heard by a jury at trial, the allegations against the accused remain untested in court.
