Emergency services were called to an address on Saturn Crescent in Dunmore about 3pm on January 28 after 25-year-old Jack Westren was found with serious stab wounds.

He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.

Initial investigations revealed that the 25-year-old was allegedly stabbed during a fight with multiple people who left in an SUV.

The vehicle was later recovered in Albion Park Rail and seized for forensic examination.

A 15-year-old boy and a 38-year-old woman were charged with murder at the time.

Yesterday, five teenagers, including a 13-year-old boy, two boys aged 14, a 15-year-old girl, and a 16-year-old boy, were all charged with murder.

The teens are all set to face children's court on separate dates later this month.
