UPDATE: Police have charged a sixth person in relation to the 2017 murder of Glenfield teenager Brayden Dillon. A man was arrested today (Tuesday, October 23) at Sydney International Airport over his alleged role in the murder. Police were called to a home on Moresby Avenue about 6.10am on April 14 and found 15-year-old Brayden in bed with a gunshot wound to his head. Brayden was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a critical condition, where he later died. Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Squad and Campbelltown Police Area Command launched an investigation called Strike Force Wongala. Five people have previously been charged by investigators. They remain before the courts. A 54-year-old man was arrested about 6am today after arriving back to Australia on a flight from the US. He was taken to Surry Hills Police Station, where he was charged with being accessory after the fact to murder: knowingly participating in a criminal group to assist crime; and acting with intent to pervert the course of justice. Shortly after his arrest, strike force investigators, assisted by South West Metropolitan Region Enforcement Squad, executed a search warrant at a home at Yagoona where police seized several items relevant to the investigation. Police allege the man coordinated and oversaw the facilitation of the provision of false affidavits on behalf of others and passed information relating to the murder between various people. The man was refused bail to appear at Central Local Court today (Tuesday, October 23). Police investigations continue into the murder. RELATED CONTENT:
