Man charged with murder over Yanchep stabbing

By Hamish Hastie

A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder after the stabbing death of a 28-year-old man in Perth’s northern suburbs last week.

WA Police allege a fight broke out between several people on Capilano Avenue in Yanchep around 2.55am on December 14.

They further allege the accused and the victim became involved in an altercation and the victim was stabbed.

It is believed the friends of the man had been attempting to drive him to hospital when they were intercepted by police about 3.10am on Wanneroo Road, between Trian Road and Kiro Street in Carabooda.

Police officers provided first aid to the man until St John paramedics arrived – but he was unable to be revived.

Homicide squad detectives arrested the accused in the northern suburbs on Saturday and charged him with murder.

He was due to appear in court on Monday.
