Newcastle Man Charged Over Dubbo Murder

BY OLIVIA DILLON 
 
A man from Newcastle has been charged with murder following an investigation into the death of a man in the state’s Central West.

Just after midnight on Wednesday the 16th of August, 2023, emergency services were called to a home on Margaret Crescent in Dubbo, following reports of a stabbing.

Upon arrival, officers found a 39-year-old man suffering multiple stab wounds to his chest.

He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics, however he died at the scene.

A crime scene was established, and an investigation was launched into the incident. 
 
Following inquiries, at about 10:30am yesterday (Tuesday the 19th of September, 2023), detectives attended a correctional facility in Grafton and arrested a 39-year-old man from Newcastle.

He's since been charged with murder and refused bail.  

He'll face Dubbo Local Court today.
