NSW Premier Chris Minns speaks out after three women allegedly murdered in 10 hours

NSW Premier Chris Minns has spoken out after three women were allegedly murdered in domestic violence-related incidents across the state within just 10 hours.

The women, aged 23, 70 and 90, died in three separate incidents in Wagga Wagga, Bondi Beach and Mole River on Saturday.

The first occurred about 11.45am, when a 23-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed at a home on Ziegler Ave in Kooringal, Wagga Wagga.

An 18-year-old man was initially arrested nearby but was later released without charge.

Police were told another man had left the home before emergency services arrived.

Following investigations, a 31-year-old man was arrested at a home on Menzies Ave in the same suburb.

He was charged with domestic violence-related murder and refused bail.

He did not appear in court on Sunday and will next face court on November 18.

About five hours after the Wagga Wagga incident, a 90-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death inside her Bondi Beach home .

Emergency services were called to a unit on Chambers Ave about 5.15pm, where the woman was found with significant injuries to her torso.

A 47-year-old man, believed to be the woman’s grandson, was arrested at the home and charged with domestic violence-related murder.

Then, about 9.35pm, a 70-year-old woman was found dead inside a fire-damaged home at Mole River, about 40 minutes west of Tenterfield.

Police had initially been called to a neighbouring property on Ironbark Rd following reports of a domestic violence incident.

Officers were told a 37-year-old man had entered the property and attempted to steal a vehicle before allegedly assaulting the 74-year-old male homeowner.
