A fifth person has been charged over the alleged murder of James Callaghan on a Hamilton Street late last year.
Police allege the 22-year-old was stabbed multiple times after an initial argument outside a kebab shop on Beaumont Street on November 17 over rubbish being thrown on the street.
Four people have since been arrested and charged with murder.
News Limited reports 28-year-old Teelah Cooper walked into Newcastle Police Station at about 9.30am yesterday (Monday 6 January, 2025) and was later charged with accessory after the fact to murder and concealing a serious indictable offence.
It's alleged she assisted a 33-year-old man to avoid apprehension until he was arrested by Queensland Police on November 24.
Cooper was granted bail on strict conditions but remained in custody after prosecutors applied for a stay while an appeal in heard in the Supreme Court.
