Ricky Duke Doolan's case adjourned in Moree court after alleged murder of Tamworth man in Boggabilla

Ricky Duke Doolan allegedly stabbed and killed the 32-year-old local man in Boggabilla in September last year.

The 31-year-old remains behind bars on one charge of murder and had his matter mentioned in Moree Local Court this week.

Magistrate Catherine Samuels agreed to adjourn the case to February.

Doolan's defence solicitor made no application for bail and Ms Samuels formally refused it.

Doolan has not yet been required to enter a plea to the charge.

Police and paramedics were called to Brown Street in Boggabilla shortly after 11.30pm on September 2 after reports of a stabbing.

Police allege the 32-year-old victim, a man from Tamworth, was found with stab wounds at the scene.
