The ODPP says there were 29 people charged with a total of 38 counts of non-sexual violence offences in June.

There were two incidents where the accused and the victim were related to one another.

A 32-year-old man was charged with the murder of a 28-year-old man while in another incident, a 45-year-old man was charged with the murder of a 38-year-old man and assault causing actual bodily harm to a 50-year-old man.
