A woman has been charged as investigations continue into a fatal domestic-related stabbing in the Hunter region earlier this year.

About 7.20pm on Saturday 16 January, emergency services were called to a home on Ronald Street, Tenambit, after reports a man had been injured.

Upon arrival, officers found a 51-year-old man suffering stab wounds to the stomach.

Tragically, he died at the scene.

A 23-year-old woman, known to the man, was arrested at the scene and charged.

She remains before the courts.

Detectives from Port Stephens-Hunter Police District started Strike Force Creekborough to investigate the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.

Following extensive inquiries, detectives attended a home in West Wallsend about 8am on Tuesday 26 October where they arrested a 26-year-old female.

She was taken to Waratah Police Station and charged with accessory after the fact to murder and hinder discovery evidence regarding a serious indictable offence.

She’s been granted conditional bail to appear at Maitland Local Court on Monday 20 December.

Investigations under Strike Force Creekborough are continuing.
