Owen Fuller, 19, was charged with murder on Wednesday after Cootamundra Local Area Command detectives travelled to Nowra to interview him at the South Coast Correctional Centre.

Fuller appeared at Nowra Local Court on Wednesday afternoon and did not apply for bail, which was formally refused.

He was also charged with a string of other offences inlcuding robbery with an offensive weapon, reckless grievous bodily harm, two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, aggravated break and enter to commit a serious indictable offence, assault occasion actual bodily harm in company of others, affray, break and enter to commit a serious indictable offence, steal motor vehicle and common assault.

He is yet to enter any pleas.

The charges come almost 18 months after Corey Power, 33, was found bashed beyond recognition in Wombat Street about 5.10am on August 29.

Mr Power later died in hospital.

He had just moved to Young from Canberra to be closer to his then four-year-old daughter.

Strike Force Bumble - led by detectives from Cootamundra Local Area Command, and assisted by detectives from Wagga Wagga and Hume Local Area Commands, and the state crime command’s Homicide Squad - was established to investigate Mr Power’s death.

Fuller was arrested in Brisbane in November 2013 and interviewed by NSW Police in relation to the death of Mr Power.

He was extradited from Queensland in December 2014 after a lengthy application process to get him to NSW to face charges.

The Queensland Department of Justice approved his extradition in November.

Fuller will reappear at Wagga Local Court on February 25.
