Story summary

A 26-year-old man has been extradited from Poland and charged with murder over three years after a body was discovered hidden inside a metal cabinet on the NSW Mid North Coast. The suspect arrived at Sydney International Airport in Mascot on Friday, escorted by homicide detectives and taken to Mascot Police Station where he was formally charged. The investigation began in March 2023 when police linked drug supply allegations in Caringbah to a missing person case involving a 22-year-old man from Peakhurst. On May 12, 2023, detectives discovered the body in Warrell Creek at Macksville. Two other men, aged 22 and 33, had previously been charged with murder and have since faced court proceedings. Polish authorities assisted in the arrest of the extradited suspect on September 18, 2026.
