A 25-year-old man has been charged with the murder of his 27-year-old uncle while in another incident a 40-year-old man is charged with the murder of his 70-year-old uncle.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions says there were 17 people charged with a total of 16 counts of non-sexual violence offences in December.

The ODPP says of the 17 accused, one was a police officer.

They say there were three incidents where the accused and the victim were related to one another.

A 31-year-old police officer was charged with one count of careless driving.

A 49-year-old man was charged with assault for causing actual bodily harm to his 76-year-old mother, however, this matter was discontinued after the death of the accused person.

In another incident, a 30-year-old man was charged with the assault causing actual bodily harm to a 52-year-old woman.

It is alleged that he had hit the woman’s head with a piece of timber.

A 25-year-old man was charged with an act with intent to cause grievous harm to a 32-year-old man.

He allegedly unlawfully wounded the victim by punching and striking his chest with a hammer.

Cash and assorted items were also stolen during the alleged aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary offences which consisted of garage break-ins, and day and night street muggings.

Two cases were withdrawn after discontinuances were filed due to insufficient evidence.
