  • A 13-year-old boy faces murder charges, alongside other offenses.
  • A second 16-year-old boy was also charged with murder and accessory.

A 30-year-old man was fatally stabbed in Sydney's western suburb of Mt Druitt on Friday. Emergency services responded to reports of an assault and found the victim with stab wounds. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene, despite paramedic efforts. Authorities arrested a 13-year-old boy on Sunday and charged him with murder, breach of bail, and an unrelated robbery offense. A second boy, 16, was apprehended later that evening in Cabramatta and faces charges of murder and accessory after the fact. Both youths have been denied bail and are scheduled to appear in children's court on Monday.

Superintendent Brendan Gorman indicated that approximately a dozen people were present at the time of the stabbing. Investigators have seized a bladed instrument from the scene as part of their ongoing inquiries. The victim has not yet been formally identified but is believed to have a prior history with police. Detectives are appealing for public assistance, requesting any CCTV or dashcam footage that might shed light on the 'horrendous incident.' The nature of the attack, whether random or targeted, remains under investigation.
