A second boy, 16, was arrested at a home in Cabramatta later that evening.<\/p>\n

He was charged with being accessory after the fact to murder.<\/p>\n

Officials encouraged anyone with information, including CCTV or dashcam footage, to come forward, saying inquiries continued.<\/p>\n

Supt Brendan Gorman told reporters this weekend detectives were looking into the alleged murder, saying there were about \u201ca dozen people\u201d in the area at the time of the stabbing.<\/p>\n

A number of items were seized at the scene, including a bladed instrument.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage, I would say it\u2019s a horrendous incident and it\u2019s certainly concerning for police,\u201d Gorman said Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut again, that will form part of the investigation if it is random, or it is targeted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The superintendent added the victim had not been formally identified but was believed to have \u201csome history\u201d with police.<\/p>\n

Both boys were refused bail to appear before a children\u2019s court on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 13-year-old boy has been charged with murder after a man was stabbed to death in Sydney\u2019s west…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":924862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-924861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/924861","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=924861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/924861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/924862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=924861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=924861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=924861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
