Second man charged with murder over Safety Bay stabbing

A second man has been charged with murder over the stabbing death of a 30-year-old man in Safety Bay last week.

Police and St John ambulance crews were called to a home on Port Royal Drive in Safety Bay just before midnight on May 7, following reports a man had been seriously injured.

The man had what police described as a serious injury “consistent with a stab wound”.

He was taken to Rockingham General Hospital by St John WA, where he died a short time later.

Last Friday a 46-year-old man was charged with murder over the incident and on Saturday police said they had charged a second man, a 50-year-old from Safety Bay, also with murder over the same death.

He will appear before Perth Magistrates Court on Saturday.

Police ask anyone with information regarding this incident, or who saw or heard anything suspicious in the Port Royal Drive and surrounding area between 11pm and midnight, to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report the information online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au.
