Urgent Security Review for All NSW Public Hospitals After Alleged Gas Sabotage

Vanessa Moulton, 42, faces multiple charges after allegedly sabotaging gas and water at two hospitals, with a 72-year-old patient dying hours later, police said.

  • On Tuesday, Vanessa Moulton was arrested after allegedly cutting water and gas mains and activating fire hoses at Kareena Private Hospital and Sutherland Hospital, facing multiple charges including sabotage.
  • Police referred the patient's death of an elderly man to the coroner after he died early Tuesday, with NSW Police investigators preparing a report for the coroner.
  • Police allege she entered Sutherland Hospital, Caringbah shortly after midnight, cut gas and water mains, activated fire hoses, then scaled a wall and shut off Kareena Private Hospital's gas supply about 1:30am.
  • The woman has not been charged over the death and was refused bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court on Wednesday.
  • Premier Chris Minns, NSW Premier, said the matter would be completely investigated and has prompted a state-ordered security review of hospital critical infrastructure, while Health Minister Ryan Park, NSW Health Minister, described the act as highly dangerous deliberate sabotage.
