Man extradited from Northern Territory following Broadwater death

A man has been extradited from the Northern Territory on a charge of murder relating to the death of another man on the state’s North Coast last month.

About 4.30pm on Thursday 21 June 2012, police from Richmond Local Area Command attended a residence in River Street, Broadwater, after 54-year-old Edward James Kelly was located deceased.

Detectives from State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad have been investigating the incident under Strike Force Fitzsimon.

A 46-year-old man was arrested just after 3pm (Northern Territory time) at Berry Springs, near Darwin, by Northern Territory Police on Sunday 1 July 2012.

He was charged by virtue of a NSW arrest warrant for murder and NSW Homicide Squad detectives travelled to Darwin to apply for his extradition.

This was granted and the man was escorted on a flight which arrived in Sydney about 12.30pm today (Wednesday 4 July 2012).

He was taken to the Sydney Police Centre where he is assisting detectives with their inquiries.

Meanwhile, detectives are continuing their investigations and would like to hear from any person with information to assist them to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
