In a shocking turn of events, a 51-year-old woman has been charged with murder following the grim discovery of an 81-year-old man's body in a creek on a property in Teven, New South Wales. Authorities were alerted to the scene just after midday on the previous day amidst concerns for a person's welfare.
Upon arrival at the Teven Road property, police located the man's body in the nearby creek. The area has since been cordoned off as a crime scene, with investigations ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the man's death. According to reports, the victim and the accused were known to each other, adding a chilling layer to the case.
The woman was apprehended at the scene and subsequently taken to Lismore Police Station. Following a medical assessment at Lismore Base Hospital, she was returned to police custody, where she was formally charged with murder. The court has denied her bail, and she is scheduled to appear before the bail division court tomorrow.
