A 49-year-old man has been charged with murder after a second man who was found with serious injuries in a home in central west NSW died earlier this week.
Emergency services arrived at Adams St in Ashmont, near Wagga Wagga, about 5pm on Thursday, after following up a concern for a welfare call.
A 52-year-old man was found inside the home suffering serious injuries. He died at the scene, police said.
The 49-year-old man was later found a short distance from the home suffering head injuries.
He was taken to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital under police guard.
Police established a crime scene at the home and Strike Force Bulba was launched with homicide detectives and Riverina Police to investigate the man's death.
On Saturday, the 49-year-old was released from hospital and taken to Wagga Wagga Police Station.
He was charged with murder and refused bail.
He is due in Wagga Wagga Bail Court on Sunday.
Investigations continue.
