A man and teenager have been charged over the fatal stabbing of 20-year-old Alfredo Isho at a Bossley Park hair salon last week.

Police arrested the 22-year-old man and a 17-year-old teenager at a Bossley Park home yesterday before being taken to Fairfield Police Station and charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

The 22-year-old was refused bail and will appear at Fairfield Local Court today. The teenager was also refused bail and will appear at a children’s court today.

It comes after police raided the Bossley Park home of 18-year-old accused murderer Fredon Laith Botrus, who police claim tried to dismantle and disguise the motorbike he allegedly used as a getaway vehicle for the stabbing murder.

Police allegedly found Mr Laith’s motorbike with a fan blowing on it in what police will allege was an effort to cool the engine and make it look like the bike hadn’t been driven.

One side of the motorbike was still hot while the other was cold, according to a police fact sheet.

Police will allege plastic parts of the bike had also been removed in an attempt to disguise it.

Botrus allegedly rode the bike to Bossley Park’s Classico Hair Studio just after midday last Friday where he is accused of stabbing Mr Isho in the chest.

Mr Isho later died and Botrus was charged with murder.

The alleged motive for the killing is yet to be established.

However, police will allege Mr Isho had been waiting for 45 minutes to get a haircut and then sat in a barber’s chair near the rear door.

Botrus was seen riding laps around the streets outside the store on his motorbike before parking on a nearby grass area, police will allege.

He then allegedly entered the store and stabbed Mr Isho in the chest near the collar bone.

Paramedics kept Mr Isho alive in the short term but he later died in hospital.

Police raided Botrus’ home soon after and he allegedly told them he had been asleep all day.

Officers then found the motorbike with a fan pointed at it with one side of the bike cold and the other hot.

They also noted that the coloured parts of the bike had been removed.

Botrus was order to appear in Fairfield Local Court on March 13.

Tributes flowed on social for Mr Isho, including from his friends with many shocked at the young man’s death.

“Our beautiful Alfredo. You took part of us with you when you left,” Hend Matte wrote on Facebook.

“Our hearts will never heal. Go rest your soul.”
