A man has now been charged with murder after a body was found at Scone yesterday.
A 20-year-old man handed himself into police around 6:30am leading officers to the body of a 41-year-old man in a home on Parker Street.
Police established a crime scene while the younger man was taken to the John Hunter Hospital with minor lacerations to his fingers.
The 20-year-old has since been released back into police custody and charged.
He’s been refused bail and will front Muswellbrook Local Court today.
