Emergency services were called to a unit at Bondi Beach about 5:15pm on Saturday, where they found a 90-year-old woman with stab wounds to her torso. Paramedics treated her but she died at the scene. A 47-year-old man, known to the woman, was arrested at the unit and charged with domestic violence-related murder. He was refused bail and is due to appear before the Bail Division Local Court on Sunday.
Hours later, police were called to a property on Ironbark Road at Mole River, west of Tenterfield, following reports of a domestic violence incident about 9:30pm on Saturday. Officers were told a 37-year-old man had entered the home and attempted to steal a vehicle before assaulting the 74-year-old male home owner. After the man's arrest, police located the body of a 70-year-old woman during a search of a neighbouring property. The woman is yet to be formally identified. A house on the property was also partially damaged by fire.
In Wagga Wagga, police were called to a home on Ziegler Avenue at Kooringal about 11:45am on Saturday. Officers were told a man had left the property before emergency services arrived. A 31-year-old man has since been charged over the fatal stabbing of a 23-year-old woman. An 18-year-old man arrested at the scene was released without charge.
Police are expected to provide further details on the Bondi incident at 3pm.
