Story summary

A 32-year-old man has been charged with the murders of two men found on separate occasions at a property near Gurranang, located about 25km north of Grafton in northern New South Wales. The first body, that of a 79-year-old man, was discovered inside his home on September 13. Two weeks later, on Monday, another body was found—a 59-year-old relative who had traveled from out-of-state to assist with the deceased’s estate and police inquiries. The younger victim was reportedly "set upon" by the suspect when he visited the property. Police arrested the man at a local hospital; he faces court later today charged with two counts of murder and one count of stealing a motor vehicle.
