NSW man charged over alleged Lavington hit-and-run that left boy critically injured
A man has been charged over an alleged hit-and-run in southern New South Wales that left a young child critically injured more than six months ago. Joel Crighton, 27, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with six offences, including failing to stop and assist, negligent driving and causing bodily harm by misconduct. Emergency services were called to Dick Road in Lavington near Albury on January 10 after reports that a child had been hit by a vehicle that allegedly left the scene before police arrived. Paramedics treated the four-year-old for a suspected head injury before he was flown to the Royal Children's Hospital in a critical condition. Police said a black ute that was seized during the investigation had been forensically examined. Mr Crighton's matter was heard in the Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday. He did not apply for bail is expected to face Albury Local Court on July 14.

‘Heart of gold': Tributes flow for young Wurundjeri father killed in north Melbourne home
A young father has been identified as the man killed inside a home in Melbourne 's north on Monday. Will Austin, 28, was found dead inside a home on Mitchell St at Glenroy, hours before another young man was charged with his murder near the NSW border. 'Will was a Wurundjeri warrior taken tragically,' his father, Bill Nicholson, told 'He lived his life with his Wurundjeri culture and family from a strong blood line who continue sovereign responsibility from our ancestors to care for the land, community, and keep culture strong.' The Wurundjeri elder said he was 'frustrated our young people are still dying in violence'. 'My son was strong and our mob will never forget him,' Nicholson said. Family members also paid tribute to Austin on social media, with relative Ky-ya Nicholson Wards noting that Austin had been optimistic about his future when she saw him in the days before his death. 'It doesn't feel real,' she wrote. 'You had a heart of gold and we could always still see the real you through the demons you were fighting. 'Thank you for bringing baby Jordy into this world, I will always protect him, and guide him though life. He will always know who his daddy was. 'I hope your soul is resting with all of our family and old people. Gone too soon my brother, you will be missed 'til the day we meet again.' A 23-year-old was arrested in Albury on Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday faced Albury Local Court where Victorian detectives applied for his extradition. He did not apply for bail and was extradited from Albury to Wodonga. He is set to face Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

Family member charged with manslaughter over 2023 death of four-week-old baby
A family member charged with manslaughter more than a year after the 'abhorrent' death of a four-week-old baby has been granted bail. Police arrested a 26-year-old man on Friday morning over the July 2023 death of the boy in Wagga Wagga, NSW. The man, who police said was a family member, brought the baby to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital suffering a critical illness along with other injuries that were allegedly deliberately inflicted. Those injuries included multiple broken bones, police said. The infant died three days later at the Sydney Children's Hospital. The man was granted bail on a $10,000 surety after facing Albury Local Court charged with manslaughter on Friday. He is next due before Wagga Wagga Local Court in July. Detective Inspector Peter Owen said the death had profoundly impacted those in the southern NSW community. 'All of these matters, including this, deeply impact the people who are associated, whether they be teachers, health workers, police, the extended family and community members,' he told reporters on Friday. 'The death of an infant is tragic — where there are suspected inflicted injuries, it's another level that is abhorrent to people.' The man was arrested in Albury on the NSW-Victorian border and charged with domestic violence-related manslaughter. He was visiting other children when arrested, Det Insp Owen said. He was not adversely known to police before the incident. Police declined to confirm whether the suspect was the deceased infant's father. The years-long investigation into the death involved assistance from the secretive NSW Crime Commission. 'It's coming up to two years of consistent, dedicated work from a small team of regional detectives,' Det Insp Owen said. 'The dedication and devotion to this job is an absolute credit to those detectives.' The baby is survived by two siblings, police said. If you need help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

BREAKING NEWS Footy star Noah Balta learns his fate for vicious assault that could have killed his victim - as judge's ruling will leave his AFL club furious
AFL star Noah Balta has avoided a jail sentence for viciously assaulting a man outside a club in December last year - but has been hit with a three-month curfew that will leave him unable to play any night games or star in interstate matches. Albury Local Court ordered that the Richmond Tigers star not leave his house between 10pm and 6am for the next three months over the attack outside the Mulwala Water SkimBlub in southern NSW on December 30. The 25-year-old had pleaded guilty to a single count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, which in NSW attracts a maximum penalty of five years in jail. He has been sentenced to an 18-month community correction order and fined $3000. Balta is also not allowed to drink alcohol under the curfew, which expires on July 22. The AFL schedule is not set from round 16 onwards, but as it stands, Balta will miss two night games for the Tigers due to his sentence, and one away trip to play GWS in Sydney. A court previously heard that Balta's 27-year-old victim could have been killed in the attack. 'Your Honour can see he becomes fully airborne and travels a metre or a metre-and-a-half,' police prosecutor Jason Tozer told the Corowa Local Court last month. 'It is only sheer luck that his head did not make contact with that concrete.' Balta's defence admitted the incident was serious but argued the assault was at the higher-end of a mid-level offence. The prosecution argued the attack met the threshold of a high-level offence. Character references for the AFL star described Balta as 'a kind, caring gentle giant,' defence lawyer Belinda Franjic said. 'It's quite clear this offence is completely and utterly out of character for Mr Balta,' she told the court. Balta had admitted drinking a significant amount of alcohol on the day of the offending and had reacted to seeing his younger brother in a confrontation, the court was told. The player had shown genuine remorse for his actions and had sought professional help, including courses, to address the behaviour that led to the incident, Ms Franjic said. The AFL star had quickly admitted the assault and pleaded guilty, although he initially told police he had only punched the victim three or four times. 'That might not have been completely accurate,' his barrister said. In March, the prosecution also slammed Balta's four-match ban from Richmond, which was sanctioned by the AFL but widely condemned by footy greats, AFL experts and Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan. 'The action taken by the club is so minimal as to be irrelevant,' Sgt Tozer said. 'The court must send a message to the community that this type of conduct is unacceptable no matter who you are.'
