One woman and two men have been charged over the alleged murder of a 43-year-old man whose body was found at a home at Kendall on the NSW mid-north-coast.
The man was found allegedly shot dead around 6.40pm last Wednesday at the house on Batar Creek Road, and could not be revived at the scene.
NSW Police have charged 37-year-old Luke Willcockson with murder, and Ashley Shields, 27, with conceal serious indictable offence after the pair were arrested at 1.30pm on Sunday afternoon at North Haven.
A third person, Michael Nicholas Hatzigeorgiou, 39, who had been living at the Kendall house, was arrested after being stopped at 4.10pm on Saturday on the Pacific Highway at Nabiac.
He was charged with accessory after the fact to murder, conceal serious indictable offence and drive motor vehicle during disqualification period and appeared in Port Macquarie Local Court on Monday.
He was refused bail and will appear again in the same court today where Mr Willcockson and Ms Shields are also due to appear.

Members of the public performed CPR on the man allegedly shot last week who, neighbours told Daily Mail Australia, had lived there with a woman for several years.
Neighbours reported hearing on Wednesday night before the man’s death, laughter coming from the house and then a screeching of car tyres.
Kendall – a small village of 1,141 people, not far from Port Macquarie – was the town where William Tyrrell, Australia’s most famous missing child, went missing in September 2014.
Last week’s crime scene happened at a house just a two minute drive from the stretch of Batar Creek Road which was the subject of an intense police search for William’s remains two years ago.

Police still believe the remains of the missing toddler are buried at the other end of Batar Creek Road, a short drive from where he was last seen at Benaroon Drive, Kendall.
In late 2021, detectives and SES workers made extensive searches over four weeks along Batar Creek Road to locate missing William.
Detectives from Strike Force Rosann, which is investigating William’s disappearance, have told William Tyrrell’s foster mother: ‘We aren’t guessing. We aren’t bluffing. We know how, we know why, we know where he is.’
The woman, who cannot be identified, has strongly denied any knowledge of the toddler’s whereabouts or any link to William’s disappearance.
There is no suggestion of a link between his disappearance and the latest incident on Batar Creek Road.
The house where the man died is closer into town than the location on the same street where police theorise that William is buried.
