A man will face court today charged over his alleged role in the murder of a man in Sydney’s south-west.
About 1pm on Thursday 25 October 2018, officers from Campbelltown City Police Area Command were called to Englorie Park Drive, Rosemeadow, after the body of a man was found in a vacant lot. He had been stabbed.
The man was formally identified as 46-year-old Campbelltown man, Jamie Phillips.
Local detectives, with the assistance of the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad, established Strike Force Hardey to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
Following extensive inquiries, strike force investigators, with the assistance of South West Metropolitan Region Enforcement Squad, executed a search warrant at a home at St Helens Park just after 11.30am yesterday (Thursday 7 March 2019).
A 37-year-old man was arrested at the home and taken to Campbelltown Police Station, where he was charged with murder.
Police will allege in court that Mr Phillips was stabbed at a home at Rosemeadow and his body was later dumped at the vacant lot.
He was refused bail to appear at Campbelltown Local Court today (Friday 8 March 2019).
Investigations under Strike Force Hardey are continuing.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Hardey investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
