Man pleads guilty to 2013 NSW murder

A man has admitted killing Scott Hammond almost six years after the 48-year-old was found dead in his NSW home.

Kenneth Christopher Washbrook, also 48, pleaded guilty to the murder of Mr Hammond during a NSW Supreme Court arraignment on Friday.

He's next expected to face court for a sentence hearing in August.

Mr Hammond's body was found in his Tahmoor home, south of Sydney, in July 2013 sparking a lengthy police investigation.

It wasn't until 2018 that Washbrook was charged. But detectives said he'd been a person of interest for some time.
