A man has been charged with murder after allegedly killing a man and assaulting two others south-west of Bundaberg in a series of alleged violent attacks.
The rampage took place over about eight minutes in the small town of Childers, leaving an elderly man dead after he was allegedly brutally bashed with a metal pole.
This allegedly happened after a 36-year-old man, driving a Subaru Liberty, deliberately crashed into a Mitsubishi Pajero.

When the Pajero driver got out of his car after the collision, it is alleged that the offender reversed into him, before punching the other man multiple times in the face.
After this, the 36-year-old drove onto Whietbridge Road in North Isis, where he confronted a 78-year-old man, allegedly punching him in the head before hitting him with a metal pole.
The North Isis man suffered critical injuries and died at the scene.
The Subaru driver then allegedly drove to Crescent Street in Childers, where he allegedly assaulted a 66-year-old man.
