A man has been charged with murder after he allegedly broke in a couple's home and beat a man sleeping inside with a guitar in front of his girlfriend. Police will allege the man, 35, broke into the unit in Gladesville, on Sydney's lower north shore, at 8.25am last Monday while the pair were sleeping. The man then allegedly beat the 36-year-old alleged victim over the head with a guitar he found in the room before fleeing the scene. The injured man was rushed to an intensive care unit at Royal North Shore Hospital with critical head injuries but died six days later at 4.30pm on Sunday. On the same day as the man's death, the alleged intruder was arrested and charged with murder 750 kilometres north of the crime scene at Byron Bay.
