A 46-year-old man from Byford has been charged with murder following the alleged stabbing death of a 44-year-old father in Rockingham on Friday evening. Emergency services were called to the intersection of Mandurah Road and Chesterfield Road around 7.30pm after Cameron Lee was found seriously injured. Lee, who is believed to be the victim, was discovered with injuries consistent with stab wounds and was rushed to Rockingham General Hospital. He later died from his injuries. Police confirmed that the accused, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was arrested and is set to appear in Northbridge’s overnight court on Sunday morning. Authorities have indicated they believe a car associated with the incident was later found burnt out in the Byford area. A blue Hyundai Getz was reportedly seen driving erratically in Rockingham and Byford before witnesses reported seeing a man exit the vehicle, which then caught fire. The connection between the car and Lee’s death remains under investigation. Officers have urged anyone with information regarding the car or the incident to come forward immediately. Lee’s daughter has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for funeral expenses, expressing deep sorrow over her father’s sudden and tragic passing. She described the loss as something no family should endure and paid tribute to her father, stating he would always be loved and remembered. In a separate incident, police are investigating a stabbing at the Joondalup shopping centre in Perth’s north. The attack occurred shortly after 4pm on Saturday in the upper food court area. A man in his 20s was allegedly stabbed and received treatment for serious injuries at Royal Perth Hospital via St John WA. Footage of the incident was shared online, showing the victim being transported by paramedics. While authorities believe the individuals involved knew each other, no charges have been laid at this time. A police spokesperson noted the incident appears to be isolated and emphasized there is no current threat to public safety, though officers will remain visible in the area as investigations continue.
