A man has been charged with murder following an investigation into an alleged fatal stabbing at Woy Woy last week.

At about 6.15pm on Saturday, December 17, emergency services were called to Macarthur St, where they found a 41-year-old man unconscious in the street with multiple stab wounds.

Officers from Brisbane Water Police District commenced CPR until the arrival of NSW Ambulance paramedics; however, the man died at the scene.

He has since been formally identified as Nathan Strudwick.

Police established crime scenes at multiple locations, including on nearby Railway St, where it’s believed the stabbing took place and detectives commenced an investigation into the incident under Strike Force Ambyne.

Following inquiries, officers from Cumberland Police Area Command attended a hotel in Toongabbie about 3.30am on Wednesday, December 21 and commenced a search of the area.

A short time later officers located and arrested a 46-year-old man in Aurelia St.

He was taken to Blacktown Hospital, before being taken to Granville Police Station where he was charged with murder and aggravated robbery and inflicting actual bodily harm.

The man was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Thursday, December 22.
