Man Charged with Murder After Fatal Woolbrook Campsite Stabbing

Daniel Mark Kilkeary, 43, charged after stabbing a known man in his 50s multiple times at a Woolbrook campsite, with police seizing the suspected weapon at the scene.

  • On Sunday, a man was remanded on a murder charge after an alleged stabbing at a Woolbrook campsite, with NSW Ambulance paramedics unable to save the injured man believed to be in his 50s.
  • Police say two men who knew each other were involved in an altercation that escalated into the alleged stabbing, Superintendent David Cooper said Monday.
  • Police established a crime scene and located and seized a knife seized at scene, which will undergo forensic examination, with Oxley Police managing the investigation assisted by the homicide squad.
  • At a bail mention on Monday, March 9, Kilkeary made no application for bail and Magistrate Miranda Moody formally refused bail, so he will remain in custody until his next appearance at Tamworth Local Court next month.
  • The victim remains unidentified but is believed to be a man in his 50s, and this is the second alleged campsite killing in less than a week following an axe attack involving Ahwen Kohn, 26, at Little Styx River Campground.
