<\/p>\nNew South Wales Police have faced an “extremely confronting” scene when a preschooler was found dead inside a home after a woman presented herself to police.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old woman has been charged with murder after the body of a four-year-old boy was found alone inside the Wyong home, on the NSW Central Coast, on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The boy had significant arm injuries, but police have yet to confirm whether these were the cause of death.<\/p>\n
Welfare concerns were first raised after the woman took herself to the local police station and spoke with officers, Superintendent Chad Gillies said.<\/p>\n
“Through those conversations, police formed genuine concerns and that’s what triggered our response,” he told reporters on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“It was an extremely confronting scene.”<\/p>\n

The child was yet to be formally identified, but investigators believe he lived alone at the unit with the woman.<\/p>\n
She was known to police and detectives were not looking for anyone else in relation to the boy’s death, Gillies said.<\/p>\n
The woman was charged on Sunday with domestic violence-related murder.<\/p>\n
A number of items of property have been seized for forensic testing, including the car that the woman used to drive to the police station.<\/p>\n
Officers were still examining the property on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
“Whenever a child is a victim of violent crime and whenever a child is (allegedly) murdered, it strikes at the core of community,” Gillies said.<\/p>\n
The woman’s lawyer Neusha Ghahreman did not apply for bail on behalf of her client, who did not appear in court during a brief hearing on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The case was adjourned until September 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New South Wales Police have faced an “extremely confronting” scene when a preschooler was found dead inside a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,67,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-510464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-australia","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
