Police arrest man in relation to murder of Danny Radulovic

Police have arrested a 19-year-old as they investigate the death of a Sydney man who was bashed, stabbed and shot.

A 19-year-old man has been charged as police investigate an alleged murder in Sydney’s inner west.

Masei Tavui, 19, was charged with murder by Liverpool Police on Tuesday afternoon.

Five riot squad police officers pounded on the door of Mr Tavui’s Austral address at 7:15am to arrest him and execute a search warrant at the home.

They were seen on camera combing through the property and talking to the shirtless 19-year-old before taking him into custody.

The 19-year-old was placed in handcuffs and taken to Liverpool Police Station.

He was refused bail and will face court on Tuesday.

Riot squad officers prepare to raid the Austral property.

He sat calmly talking to police in handcuffs before being taken away in a paddy wagon.

They arrested the 19-year-old and during the search found and seized “clothing relevant to their investigation”.

“It will undergo further forensic examination,” NSW Police said.

On the night of the alleged murder, police were called to Donnelly Street in Balmain at 3:40pm on July 29, following reports of an assault.

Officers arrived to find Dejan ‘Danny’ Radulovic suffering significant head and torso injuries, with police alleging his wounds were from being bashed and stabbed.

The man killed in the attack was identified as Dejan 'Danny' Radulovic (left).

Police found him suffering serious injuries in Balmain in July.

Paramedics treated him to the scene before taking him to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.

Despite efforts of medical staff, he could not be saved.

An autopsy of the 29-year-old discovered he had also suffered a gunshot wound.

“Police have been told Danny Radulovic was injured during an altercation with two men before the pair allegedly fled the scene in a white Jeep,” a NSW Police spokesperson said in a statement.

The car was later found dumped in Five Dock a short time later, with a gun inside.

It’s understood that Mr Radulovic was on parole for drug supply when he was killed.

A man is already before the courts for a charge related to Mr Radulovic’s murder.

Mr Tavui was refused bail and will appear before Liverpool Local Court on Tuesday.

One man has been charged as an accessory to the murder and remains before the court.
