SHARE

Strike Force Backhouse detectives have charged a third man following investigations into the murder of Stacey Klimovitch in Stockton earlier this year.

About 8pm on Wednesday 9 June, emergency services were called to a home on Queen Street after reports of a shooting.

A 61-year-old woman answered her front door before being shot.

She died at the scene and was later identified as Ms Klimovitch.

Officers from Newcastle City Police District established Strike Force Backhouse to investigate the circumstances surrounding her murder.

So far during the investigation, two men – aged 29 and 46 – have been charged over their alleged involvement in the shooting and remain before the courts.

Following further inquiries, investigators attended a correctional facility in Silverwater on Wednesday 15 December and spoke with a 64-year-old inmate.

He was subsequently charged with murder and accessory after the fact to murder.

The man is due to appear before Newcastle Local Court on Monday 20 December.

Investigations remain ongoing.
