A 19-year-old man has today (Wednesday 11 February 2015) been charged with the 2013 murder of Corey Power at Young.

Shortly after 5am on Thursday 29 August 2013, Corey Power was located with severe head injuries on Wombat Street, Young. He died a short time later.

Strike Force Bumble, led by detectives from Cootamundra Local Area Command, and assisted by detectives from Wagga Wagga and The Hume Local Area Commands, and the Homicide Squad, was established to investigate Mr Power’s death.
