Northern Territory Police have charged a 17-year-old boy with murder after a 21-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death in Tennant Creek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They said the man died following an “altercation” on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Last week, an NT Police spokesperson said officers received reports of a stabbing on Griggs Street in the town 500 kilometres north of Alice Springs at about 1:10am on June 12.<\/p>\n
“Officers attended and located a 21-year-old man with a laceration to his neck,” they said.<\/p>\n
“He was declared deceased a short time later and a crime scene declared.”<\/p>\n
Police arrested the teenager later that day at a nearby residence and announced the murder charge this morning.<\/p>\n
Detectives have previously said they were investigating whether the stabbing could be linked to ongoing feuding in the town and in a statement released today, Acting Commander Mark Grieve described the incident as “another senseless death”.<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts are with the family, but we ask for calm in the community,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Violence is not the answer.”<\/p>\n
The teenager has been remanded in custody and will face court tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Northern Territory Police have charged a 17-year-old boy with murder after a 21-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735146,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[129446,355409,64,63,1300,131933,1913,75642,2968,44,1158,27777,12628,114168],"class_list":["post-735145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-129446","tag-355409","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-death","tag-feud","tag-fight","tag-killed","tag-murder","tag-news","tag-police","tag-stabbing","tag-teenager","tag-tennant-creek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
