Charlise Mutten's alleged killer facing fresh charges
The man accused of murdering nine-year-old schoolgirl Charlise Mutten earlier this year has been hit with new charges.
Jason Stein was charged with the murder of his fiancé’s daughter in January, after the little girl’s body was discovered in a barrel near the Colo River, about an hour from the Blue Mountains where she had disappeared from.
After his arrest, police conducted a search in the bushland near Mt Wilson - the area where Charlise was last seen - and found two firearms and ammunition, which was seized and forensically examined.
Police then visited Silverwater prison and arrested the 31-year-old, charging him with two counts of possessing an unregistered firearm, two for possessing an unauthorised firearm, possessing ammunition without a licence or permit, and aggravated break and enter in company.
Mr Stein has also been charged with two counts of possessing child abuse material for unrelated matters.
Meanwhile, investigations continue under Strike Force Buena, which was established to investigate Charlise’s disappearance.
