A teenage boy will face court today charged with murder following the death of a man at Kingswood this week.
Emergency services were called to the Great Western Highway, near Kingswood Train Station, about 10.20pm (Tuesday 4 February 2025), after a 58-year-old man was found suffering a stab wound to his chest.
