Moorebank, Sydney’s west: Woman is found dead on the driveway

A witness has told of the moment he found his housemate dead in her driveway – surrounded by blood – when he returned to his home in Sydney’s south-west in the early hours of the morning.

Maintenance worker Daniel Tua returned home to Moorebank after his night shift before 6am on Friday when he found the 43-year-old woman lying dead in the driveway.

The woman, 43, had suffered a serious cut to her left arm and had suffered no other obvious injuries, police said. 

Cops are examining a smashed window at the property.  

‘It was still dark’, Mr Tua told Daily Mail Australia.

‘As I turned into the driveway I saw the body lying there and blood was everywhere. On the driveway, on the footpath.’

He added: ‘I didn’t want to go near her. I was afraid.’

Homicide detectives established a crime scene after a woman was found dead on a driveway in Sydney’s west this morning 

Mr Tua could not get through to the emergency services so he flagged down a driver to call them. 

He said the woman, his housemate, was wearing a colourful, loose fitting, Fijian-style dress. 

‘They [her and her boyfriend] live by themselves and I live on my own,’ he said.

‘They mind their own business so I mind my own business. We don’t really speak.’

Mr Tua’s car was still parked across the street and on the driveway when Daily Mail Australia visited the scene.

A police officer, who had been at the seen for seven hours, said two homicide detectives were still at the scene.

However, he added: ‘I don’t think it’s homicide: it seems more like suicide.’

A source told Daily Mail Australia the woman had injuries to the back of her head
