Law enforcement officials delving into the tragic stabbing of a man in a Bega park, located on the New South Wales South Coast, have expanded their inquiry to include a search of the surrounding wetlands.
Authorities are still on the hunt for those responsible for the death of the 43-year-old man, who was fatally attacked last month.
Emergency responders discovered the victim at a park on East Street in Bega around 2 a.m. on October 6, after receiving a call expressing concerns about an individual’s welfare.
Despite the paramedics’ efforts to revive him, the man succumbed to his injuries at the location.
The case has prompted a thorough homicide investigation.
A second man, aged 45 and also suffering stab wounds, was taken to South East Regional Hospital in a stable condition.
He has since been released from hospital.
As a part of the investigation, police seized a knife and electronic devices during a search of a unit in Bega on October 30.
No one was home at the time.
Yesterday, South Coast Police District officers and the State Emergency Service conducted a search in and around the Glebe Wetlands on East Street, Bega, and the surrounding area.
The aim of the search was to locate a knife, believed to be a small double-edged dagger, that may have been discarded after the alleged stabbing, police said.
