Glenorchy man charged with murder

A 23-year-old Glenorchy man has today been charged with murder following an incident at Dickson Street, Glenorchy earlier this month.

Emergency services were called to the scene about 11.30pm on 11 March, arriving to find a 19-year-old man unconscious and non-responsive outside a property.

He was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital where he died on 22 March.

The alleged offender has been detained to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court tonight.

Detective Acting Inspector Nicholas Bowden said investigations are continuing, and anyone with further information about the incident should contact police.

“Detectives are still particularly interested in anyone with information about a small four door sedan, possibly silver in colour, in the area of Dickson Street at the time,” he said.   

“Any relevant CCTV or dashcam footage should also be provided to investigators.”
