A man will appear in court today following investigations into the death of a man at a correctional facility in June, NSW Police say.
Just after 2.30pm on Monday 19 June 2017, police were called to a correctional centre on The Northern Road, Berkshire Park, after a 24-year-old inmate was found critically injured.
He had sustained serious head injuries and did not regain consciousness before dying in a Sydney hospital on Friday 30 June 2017.
Detectives from Penrith Local Area Command established Strike Force Tolley to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and have now charged a 29-year-old man.
The man was charged with murder and refused bail to appear in Penrith Local Court at 2pm today.
