A man is due to face court today (Thursday 9 October, 2025) over the alleged shooting death of a man in the Upper Hunter.
Emergency services were called to a property on Rotherwood Road at Cassilis just before 9.00am yesterday to reports a man had sustained a gunshot wound while hunting.
Paramedics attended the scene and declared the 71-year-old man deceased.
Following inquiries, a 63-year-old man was arrested and taken to Muswellbrook Police Station where he was charged with manslaughter and fire firearm likely to injury persons or property.
He's been refused bail ahead of his court appearance today.
