Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh killed at home, son charged with murder

Adelaide Crows head coach Phil Walsh has been stabbed to death at his home, South Australia Police have confirmed.

The police were called to a domestic dispute in the early hours of Friday, and after being treated for knife injuries, Walsh died at the scene.

Walsh's 26-year-old son has been charged with murder, while his wife was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

"There's been an argument, I can't tell you anything about the argument," a South Australia detective told reporters. "But as a result of that both Mr Walsh and his wife received a wound and the wound ultimately caused Mr Walsh's death."

Walsh was named Adelaide coach in October 2014.
