A man has been charged by detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man at Schofields at the weekend, NSW Police say.
Shortly after 11.30pm (2 July 2016), emergency services were called to Meadow Road, Schofields, where they found a 48-year-old man suffering a number of stab wounds.
He was treated at the scene by Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital; however, he died a short time later.
Strike Force Woodbell was formed to investigate the man’s death, and comprises detectives from Quakers Hill Local Area Command and the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad.
Shortly before 3pm today, a 27-year-old man was arrested at a home in Riverstone.
He was taken to Riverstone Police Station where he was charged with one count of murder.
He was refused bail and will appear in Blacktown Local Court tomorrow.
