A man has been extradited from Poland and charged with murder more than three years after a body was found inside a metal cabinet on the NSW Mid North Coast.
The 26-year-old arrived at Sydney International Airport in Mascot at about 6pm on Friday, escorted by homicide detectives.
He was taken to Mascot Police Station, where he was charged with murder.
NSW Police said an investigation was launched in March 2023 to look into the alleged supply of drugs in Caringbah, in Sydney's south.
Officers found links to a missing person case and brought in detectives, who established Strike Force Etruscan to investigate the disappearance of a 22-year-old man from Peakhurst.
On May 12, 2023, police searched Warrell Creek at Macksville on the Mid North Coast where they found the man's body hidden inside a large metal cabinet.
Two men, aged 22 and 33, were charged over the alleged murder, with both matters having since been dealt with by the courts.
After further investigations, detectives identified a third suspect, 26, who was allegedly involved in the killing and had been living in Poland.
