Aubin Grove, Perth: Two more teenagers charged with murder over Christmas Eve stabbing case
Two more men have been charged over the tragic Christmas Eve stabbing of a 19-year-old man in Perth’s southern suburb of Aubin Grove.
WA Police announced on Sunday that a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man, both from Byford, had been arrested and charged with murder, armed robbery and deprivation of liberty.
The charges follow the Christmas Day arrest of an 18-year-old Byford man accused of one count of murder.
He was sent to the courthouse on January 7.
Police said emergency services were called to a shopping center near Talisker Gate just after 10.30pm on Christmas Eve after reports of a man suffering stab wounds.
The 19-year-old man was taken to hospital but died a short time later.
Police will allege all three accused men were involved in a physical fight with a fourth, both inside and outside a vehicle at Talisker Gate, during which the man was stabbed several times.
Many residents were unaware of the fatal Christmas Eve stabbing that occurred on their doorstep and told 9News on Christmas Day they had heard nothing alarming.
Homicide detectives say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident and police have assured them there are no ongoing concerns for community safety.
