Legal proceedings are ongoing in the Armidale Local Court regarding the alleged axe murder of a 33-year-old man at the Little Styx River campground in Ebor. Police allege that 26-year-old Ahwen Kohn struck the victim during an argument on March 2 and subsequently attacked a woman who attempted to seek medical assistance.

Initially, the court granted police an extension to complete their evidence bundle, specifically to obtain crime scene photos required for the Director of Public Prosecutions to certify the murder charge. 

Following subsequent prosecutorial delays, the defense has moved to have the charges dismissed. While the Director of Public Prosecutions requested an additional eight-week adjournment to certify the charges, citing the complexity of the matter, the defense opposed the extension due to repeated delays. The judge has requested written submissions from both parties to address the application for dismissal.
