Boy, 15, charged with murder of man at Gosford on NSW Central Coast
Police charged a 15-year-old with murder and refused bail after a 22-year-old man died from multiple stab wounds, officers said.
On Tuesday, July 28, a 22-year-old man died following a stabbing on Mann Street in Gosford; police subsequently charged a 15-year-old boy with murder after investigating the fatal incident.
Officers arrested a 45-year-old woman at a Lake Haven home in the early hours of Saturday, August 1, charging her with hindering apprehension of a person alleged to have committed a serious offence.
Acting Judge Leslie Brennan noted during the woman's Bail Court appearance that "Police had to break a door down to gain entry," adding that "it does seem she was hindering."
The woman was granted release while the teenager was refused bail; Javid Faiz, her lawyer, told the court the incident was not gang-related, describing it as "something that occurred over a hat."
Legal proceedings will return to court on August 11. Police have urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
