Musician hospitalised after stabbing at sports club

Greg Bryce, 69, was stabbed multiple times in a domestic-related attack outside Club Merewether; the accused was charged with attempted murder and breaching an apprehended violence order.

  • On Sunday night, Greg Bryce, 53-year-old musician and frontman of DV8, was allegedly stabbed outside Club Merewether after a solo gig; police arrested a man at a Stockton home early Monday.
  • Police say the attack was linked to a domestic relationship and an AVO was active; authorities allege the suspect and victim were known to each other, involving Newcastle City Police.
  • Security footage and on-scene medical aid show the attacker allegedly stabbed the victim five times in the chest and back; a doctor treated him before paramedics took him to John Hunter Hospital for expected Monday surgery.
  • In bail court on Monday, the accused was remanded with bail refused and no release application made; Yury Skrynnik, 53, was taken to Newcastle Police Station and will next appear in Newcastle Local Court on May 20 with a Russian interpreter present.
  • The club was taped off as a crime scene, and Newcastle City Police urged witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers, while Grant Walmsley said 'He knows of everyone's well-wishes and he has been really looked after'.
