Three men have been charged with murder following investigations into the death of a 45-year-old man in Maroochydore.

It will be alleged the man sustained head injuries after being assaulted outside the Factory nightclub on Horton Parade around 3.10am on Saturday 30 November 2013. The men reportedly attacked the victim following an argument. He was knocked to the ground, then kicked and punched in an attack that lasted less than 20 seconds and was captured on CCTV cameras.

The man was transported to Nambour General Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

A 24-year-old North Arm man and two 27-year-old men from Buderim and Coolum were each charged with one count of murder.

Detectives are still appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact Sunshine Coast Police or Crime Stoppers.
