Police discovered the body of a woman believed to be in her 40s who had suffered multiple injuries including stab wounds to her body and face.<\/p>\n

Paramedics attempted to revive the woman however she could not be saved.<\/p>\n

The man was taken to a police station where he was charged with murder (DV).<\/p>\n

NSW Police Superintendent Tracy Chapman said it was believed the pair were mother and son, and it was the son that allegedly made the triple-0 call.<\/p>\n

She said there was no known history of domestic violence between the two.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not aware of any incidents relating to domestic violence matters between the two people,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly there are no reports available that indicate there has been domestic violence reports made in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man has had very limited interactions with police in the past, Chapman said, and nothing of significance.<\/p>\n

Police seized a \u201chousehold\u201d knife from the home which will undergo forensic examination.<\/p>\n

Chapman said police and the government were working \u201ctirelessly\u201d in a bid to tackle domestic violence issues within the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout question it is a scourge on society and it is a problem within our society,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The man was refused bail to appear before court on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Investigations continues.<\/p>\n
