Investigation into stabbing continues

POLICE are being assisted with their inquiries into a fatal alleged stabbing last week.

Inquiries continue after a man died following an alleged stabbing in the state’s west last week.

Just after 11.50pm on Thursday, June 5, emergency services were called to a home in South Broken Hill, following reports of a concern for welfare.

On arrival, officers attached to Barrier Police District located a 36-year-old man with stab wounds.

He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics; however, he could not be revived.

A crime scene was established and officers attached to Barrier Police District, with the assistance from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad, commenced an investigation into the incident.

A 12-year-old boy is assisting police with inquiries into the circumstances leading up to the death of the 36-year-old man.

Police intend to seek legal advice in relation to the matter, and a report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

No charges have been laid at this time. Investigations continue under Strike Force Cardup.
