A man has been charged with the murder of another man whose body was found in a carpark stairwell in Wollongong, south of Sydney. The body of the 68-year-old man was found shortly before 7.20am on Sunday in the Wollongong railway station carpark on Station St. Police cordoned off the area to examine the scene as detectives began investigating the suspected homicide. 7 NEWS understands the victim was a rough sleeper who was taking shelter in the stairwell.
He was later charged with murder. The man appeared in Wollongong Local Court on Monday, when he did not apply for bail, and it was formally refused. He is due to face court again via video link on July 17. An interim order to carry out a forensic procedure, which can involve taking a suspect’s DNA, was granted during the brief appearance. Investigations are continuing at the station carpark, which is expected to remain closed for all of Monday.
