Thread: delete item from linked list

I have written the below code to remove a node from a single linked list. Now need some help to get farther. What am I missing?
[code]
int deleteItem(struct node** headRef, int item)
{
struct node* current = *headRef;
struct node* tmp;
int count = 0;
if(current == NULL)
return 1;
if((item-1) == 0)
{
tmp = current->next;
free(current);
*headRef = tmp;
}
else
{
while(count < item-1)
{
tmp = current->next->next;
current = current->next;
free(current);
*headRef = tmp->next;
count++;
}
}
return 0;
}

Code:

int deleteItem(struct node** headRef, int item)
{
   struct node* current = *headRef;
   struct node* tmp;
   int count = 0;
   if(current == NULL)
      return 1;
   if((item-1) == 0)
   {
      tmp = current->next;
      free(current);
      *headRef = tmp;
   }
   else
   {
      while(count < item-1)
      {
         tmp = current->next->next;
         current = current->next;
         free(current);
         *headRef = tmp->next;
         count++;
      }
   }
   return 0;
}

You need to make sure your code works for deletion at the beginning, middle and end of an SLL.
