Nathan Vikatos, 45, has been charged with murder over the stabbing death of his three-year-old son in Sydney’s south-west, The Guardian has reported.

NSW Police found the child’s body about 4pm on Wednesday, May 31 after responding to a “concern for welfare” call from a female relative of the family.

Police believe the mother of the boy died a few years ago.
