A trio of men have been charged after one of their companions on a hunting trip two years ago died of a gunshot wound.
Fathi Khalil, 45, and three others went on a hunting expedition at a property called Come by Chance, near Walgett in the NSW central north, on March 1, 2024.
Police say emergency services attended the property after reports one of the men was injured after falling from a ute.
Paramedics discovered the 47-year-old with a gunshot wound and treated him, but he could not be saved, police allege.
During the ensuing crime scene investigation, all firearms used on the trip were seized and a report was prepared for the coroner.
More than two years after the trip, Khalil was arrested on Friday at Mount Druitt Police Station in western Sydney.
He was charged with manslaughter and using an unlicensed gun.
Khalil was granted conditional bail in Mount Druitt Local Court and will return to court in Walgett on May 11.
The two other men in the group, aged 42 and 39, were issued court attendance notices for gun charges and will also appear in Walgett Local Court on May 11.
