The victim was found by first responders at a park on East Street in Bega about 2am on October 6, following reports of a concern for welfare.

Paramedics tried to save the man; however, he died at the scene.

A homicide investigation was launched. 

A second man, aged 45 and also suffering stab wounds, was taken to South East Regional Hospital in a stable condition.

He has since been released from hospital.

As a part of the investigation, police seized a knife and electronic devices during a search of a unit in Bega on October 30.

No one was home at the time.

Yesterday, South Coast Police District officers and the State Emergency Service conducted a search in and around the Glebe Wetlands on East Street, Bega, and the surrounding area.

The aim of the search was to locate a knife, believed to be a small double-edged dagger, that may have been discarded after the alleged stabbing, police said.
