Police were investigating the death of a 79-year-old man at a home when they found the body of a 59-year-old man in a shed two weeks later.
A man has been charged with murder after the bodies of two men were found two weeks apart on the same property in northern NSW.
Police were called to a house on Summerland Way in Gurranang, north of Grafton, on September 13 after a 79-year-old man’s body was found inside the home. Officers investigating the death returned to the home on Monday afternoon and found the body of a man, believed to be aged 59, inside a shed on the property. NSW Police Superintendent Joanne Schultz said officers “did not anticipate what they found”.
She alleged it was “evident those people have met with foul play”.
“The 59-year-old male is not from Gurranang. He was visiting the property, and it appears that he died in the last 24 to 48 hours,” Schultz said on Tuesday. Detectives investigating the deaths under Strike Force Faneel, assisted by the homicide squad, arrested a 32-year-old man at a hospital in Grafton shortly after noon on Tuesday. The man was taken to Grafton police station, where he was charged with two counts of murder and stealing a motor vehicle.
