A woman has been charged with a man’s murder after his body was found inside a surfboard bag on the driveway of a rural home in northern New South Wales.
The 62-year-old man was found after emergency services were called to a property in Darkwood, about 67 kilometres west of Coffs Harbour, about 7pm on Thursday.
A crime scene was established and a strike force was established, including local police and the state’s homicide squad, to investigate his death.
