Two men have been charged following an investigation into the death of a man in Roselands last year.
In February 2023, detectives attached to Campsie Police Area Command – assisted by the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad – established Strike Force Poton to investigate the stabbing death of a 24-year-old man in Roselands on Thursday 23 February 2023.
The man has since been formally identified as Ghassan Long.
During the course of the investigation, eight people have previously been charged and remain before the courts.
Following further investigations, shortly before 7:45pm on Monday (3 June 2024), strike force arrested a 25-year-old man when he attended Campbelltown Police Station on an unrelated matter.
A short time later, a 24-year-old man was arrested near Campbelltown Police Station.
Both men were charged with Affray and Conceal SI offence (Murder).
Both were refused bail and appeared before Campbelltown Local Court yesterday (Tuesday 4 June 2024).
Both were given conditional bail to appear before Bankstown Local Court on 31 July 2024.
Investigations under Strike Force Poton are continuing.
