In February 2020, Noah Albert, then aged 18, was charged on separate occasions over his alleged involvement in the murder but has since been acquitted.
After further investigations, detectives arrested four men – aged 25, 20, 23 and 22 – at homes in Bonnyrigg, Macquarie Fields, Gregory Hills, and Orange just before 6am on Thursday.
