- On Saturday night, 25-year-old Blaise McIntyre was arrested at a Windale home after police discovered a 47-year-old woman's body on Merrigum Street. McIntyre was charged with domestic violence-related murder.
- Emergency services responded to a concern for welfare shortly after 8pm Saturday on Merrigum Street. Lake Macquarie Superintendent Tracy Chapman said police allege McIntyre placed the Triple Zero call before officers arrived to find the woman with multiple injuries.
