Three Deaths in 24 Hours
Three women have died in separate domestic violence-related incidents across New South Wales within a 24-hour period, according to police and ABC News.

The incidents occurred in Bondi Beach, Kooringal in Wagga Wagga and the Northern Tablelands region, with two women allegedly killed by stabbing and another woman found dead during a police search.

90-Year-Old Woman Killed in Bondi Beach
Police were called to a unit on Chambers Avenue in Bondi Beach at about 5:15 p.m. Saturday following reports of a stabbing.

Officers found a 90-year-old woman suffering significant injuries to her torso. Despite treatment by paramedics, she died at the scene.

A 47-year-old man known to the woman was arrested at the property and later charged with murder in a domestic violence-related case. He was refused bail and was due to appear before the Bail Division Local Court on Sunday.

23-Year-Old Woman Fatally Stabbed
In Kooringal, near Wagga Wagga, police were called to a home on Ziegler Avenue shortly before noon Saturday.

A 23-year-old woman was found with serious injuries and later died.

Police arrested a 31-year-old man at a nearby property that evening. He has been charged with domestic violence-related murder.

Police allege the woman and the accused man were in a domestic relationship. An 18-year-old man was also arrested during the investigation but was released without charge.

Third Woman Found Dead in Northern NSW
Hours later, police responded to a reported domestic violence incident at a property on Ironbark Road in Mole River, west of Tenterfield.

A 37-year-old man was arrested after police were told he had entered a property and allegedly assaulted a 74-year-old male resident.

During a search of a neighbouring property, officers discovered the body of a woman believed to be 70 years old. Police said she had not yet been formally identified.

A house on the property was also partially damaged by fire. The circumstances surrounding the woman’s death remain under investigation.

Investigations Continue
The three deaths occurred in separate locations and are being investigated separately.

NSW Police and detectives are continuing inquiries into the circumstances of each incident. The charges in the Bondi Beach and Kooringal cases remain allegations and will be tested through the courts.
