Charges reissued following Morwell stabbings

Homicide Squad detectives have today reissued charges against a man as part of their investigation into a fatal stabbing in Morwell in September last year.

This follows an incident where police were called after two men were located with stab wounds about 10.25pm on Saturday, 27 September.

An 18-year-old Morwell man was located on The Boulevard and taken to hospital where he died a short time later.

A 20-year-old Warragul man was located on Gillies Street and was hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries.

Two males, a 19-year-old from Traralgon and a 16-year-old from the Latrobe area, were charged on 29 September with murder and intentionally causing injury.

Noting this is a complex investigation that continues to evolve, a decision was made that the charges against the 19-year-old Traralgon man would be withdrawn on 28 November, 2025.

Those charges – murder and intentionally causing serious injury – have been reissued today.

The decision was made following further investigation into the matter.

The man will appear at Latrobe Valley Magistrates' Court on 26 March.

An 18-year-old Morwell man was charged with murder on 12 December.

Police believe the parties involved are known to each other.
