Four boys and a girl are now facing murder charges after allegedly stabbing a young disabled man to death.
The five teenagers, along with 38-year-old Tamara Lee Doust and another boy, 15, were allegedly involved in a fight that killed 25-year-old Jack Westren outside Shellharbour Train Station in Dunmore, south of Sydney, on January 28.
Doust and the 15-year-old boy were charged with murder, and six other teenagers were also charged in connection with the incident.

On Tuesday, the charges for five of them — a 13-year-old boy, two 14-year-old boys, a 15-year-old girl, and a 16-year-old boy — were upgraded to murder.
Two of those boys, aged 14 and 16, were additionally charged with affray.
The oldest boy will appear in a children’s court on Monday, while the other six teenagers are due to appear on October 28.
Doust was scheduled to face court on Wednesday.
Family demands answer
Westren, who had suffered a life-changing brain injury at the age of eight, was waiting to be picked up by his brother from a carpark when he was allegedly stabbed in the stomach by the armed group.
Police said a number of people then fled the scene in an SUV, leaving Westren with serious stab wounds.
He was treated at the scene but could not be saved.
His mother had attempted to secure additional NDIS support, but her pleas were reportedly ignored.
His stepfather Chris O’Brien — who is at a loss as to why the 25-year-old was targeted — told 7NEWS that “if he had that support in place he would have at least had a carer with him.”
“Hopefully we can get an answer and some closure.”
