Two teenagers and a man have been charged with the murder of a 51-year-old man more than a year ago in what police say was a robbery gone wrong.
Michael Kerr was found with critical stab wounds on a street in Nowra on the south coast of New South Wales just before 4:20am on 4 January 2022 and died in hospital a short time later.
Police believe the trio were trying to steal Kerr’s mobile phone and cash when he was stabbed.
Strike Force Lodder detectives arrested two 17-year-olds at Penrith Police Station on Tuesday.
The photos show one of the teens sitting on the sidewalk surrounded by officers with what appears to be blood on his left shoulder.
