A woman in her 50s was allegedly stabbed to death by her 42-year-old male housemate in Sydney’s inner west suburb of Russell Lea. The tragic incident is being investigated as a potential domestic violence case, although the two were not in an intimate relationship.
Police were called to the scene where they arrested the man, who has a criminal history of non-violent driving and drug-related offenses. Neighbours reported hearing disturbances at the property prior to the incident, raising concerns about the household’s dynamics.
Detectives have established a crime scene and are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue their investigation.
