Man charged with murder after body found on Western Sydney footpath following 'pre-arranged fight'

A 38-year-old has been charged with murder after a man's body was found last night on a footpath in the Western Sydney suburb of Melonba, near Mount Druitt.

CCTV footage has captured key movements earlier in the evening before the 32-year-old's body was found by a mum walking with her two kids just before 9pm on Friday.

Police allege there was a "pre-arranged fight" in a home 700-metres from where the victim was found, with the body transported to Georgina Crescent by car.

CCTV footage showed a black car leaving the scene where the man's body was found.

The same car had been spotted at a nearby home for much of the day, where the pre-arranged fight was thought to have taken place.

After the body was left, police say the black car crashed into a parked vehicle.

That car was found soon after, and the 38-year-old was found by officers hiding in bushes nearby.

The victim, believed to live in the local area, was found with significant head and body injuries.

"I passed that area, nothing over there... when I came back after ten minutes the man was here, I saw him," the mum told 9News.

Paramedics attempted to treat the man at the scene but he was unable to be revived.

After being found, the 38-year-old alleged killer was taken by police to Mt Druitt station where he was charged with murder this afternoon.

He has been refused bail and will appear before Parramatta Bail Court tomorrow.

Crime scenes were established at the suburban footpath and the home nearby.
