Man Charged with Alleged Murder of Woman, Two Children in Sydney Home
Police say the man and victims were known to each other, and the scene was particularly violent, with 993 arrests in a domestic-violence blitz this week.
- A 47-year-old man was charged with three counts of murder on Monday night after police discovered the bodies of his 46-year-old wife and two sons, aged four and 12, inside their Campbelltown home on Raymond Ave.
- Acting Superintendent Michael Moroney described the property as a "particularly violent crime scene" after officers responded to a triple-zero call shortly before 8pm on Monday, locating the three victims in separate rooms.
- The accused man, not previously known to police, did not appear in Campbelltown Local Court on Tuesday; lawyer Jawad Hosain stated his client is "distressed" while the court refused bail.
- Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon called the incident a "terrible tragedy," while emphasizing that domestic violence accounts for about 60 per cent of all police call-outs across New South Wales.
- The alleged murders follow Operation Amarok XIII, a state-wide police crackdown that resulted in nearly 1,000 arrests and 299 executed warrant warrants between May 13 and May 16 to combat domestic violence.
