Police have charged three people with perverting justice in relation to a fatal incident in New Town in September last year.

A man aged in his 50s was found unconscious and critically injured on Swanston Street about 2.50am on Friday, 6 September 2024.

Sadly, he later died in hospital.

Following an extensive investigation, three people – a 43-year-old woman, a 47-year-old man and a 38-year-old man – have each been summoned to appear in court, charged with perverting justice.

They will appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court on 2 April.
