A man has been killed and his son charged with murder after a domestic violence incident in the early hours south of Brisbane.

Police were called to a property at Redwood St in Marsden about 1am on Tuesday following reports of a serious assault.

Officers arrested the 30-year-old Marsden man when they arrived after the body of his 67-year-old father was found dead in the property’s backyard.

A 60-year-old woman was also at the home, but she was uninjured.

Police launched a homicide investigation following the death, and a crime scene was declared.

The 30-year-old has since been charged with murder, with the charges to be mentioned in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Investigators continue to appeal for anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
