A man has been charged for the alleged murder of a young surfer at a beach on New South Wales’ North Coast last month.
Authorities were called to Ocean Parade in Coffs Harbour about 6.40am on May 2 over reports a man had been stabbed.
First responders arrived to find 21-year-old local Kye Schaefer with chest and neck injuries.
He was rushed to hospital, where he later died.
Police have today arrested a 36-year-old man at a Coffs Harbour correctional facility.
He was taken to the local police station where he was charged with murder.
The man has been refused bail and will front a court today.
Schaefer was remembered as a “gentle” person with a “heart of gold” by his loved ones.
