Two men have been extradited from Queensland to New South Wales after the murder of
a man at a remote rural station.

NSW Police say the body of 31-year-old NIGEL PETTET was found on Ottley Station, 30km
north of Warialda in southern Queensland about 9.30pm (AEST) on August the 17th.

On Saturday two men were arrested by Queensland Police after a routine roadside breath test.

Police under Strike Force Greycliffe have interviewed both men in connection with Mr
PETTET's murder and they have since been extradited to NSW.

A 51-year-old man of no fixed abode, has been charged with murder and steal motor vehicle.

Another 51-year-old from Texas, Queensland, has been charged with breach of bond and
fail to comply with reporting obligations under the child protection act.

Both were refused bail and will appear in Central Local Court today.

A white 2004 model Toyota Landcruiser utility and a firearm have been seized for forensic
examination.
