NSW teen in custody over mum's death

A NSW teenager accused of murdering his mother will remain behind bars.

Bradley Craig Mottram, 19, did not apply for bail when his matter came before Moree Local Court on Tuesday - a day after he was arrested over his mother's death.

Police say they were called to a road in Inverell in northern NSW on Monday following reports of a single-vehicle car crash.

They found Mottram at the crash scene, before going to a home at Inverell and finding his 51-year-old mother.

It appeared she had been stabbed several times, police said.

Mottram, who has been charged with murder, will have his matter mentioned at Armidale Local Court in December.
