A teenage boy will appear in court today (30 January) charged with murder as investigations continue into the death of a man in Shellharbour this week.

Emergency services were called to Saturn Crescent, Dunmore, about 3 pm on Tuesday 28 January, where a 25-year-old man was found critically injured.

NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man for a stab wound to his abdomen; however, he died at the scene.

Officers attached to Lake Illawarra Police District commenced an investigation under Strike Force Feods, with the assistance of the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad.
