A Fijian man has been charged with the murder of his Fijian girlfriend in Sydney in what police allege is a domestic violence attack.<\/p>\n
Sydney Morning Herald reports that at about 1.40pm yesterday, police officers and paramedics were called to a home on the Great Western Highway in Kingswood, near Penrith, where they found 21-year-old Nunia Kurualeba with two stab wounds to her chest.<\/p>\n
She lived at the unit with flatmates, who raised the alarm, and her partner, Jeremaia Tuwai.<\/p>\n
When police and paramedics arrived, they tried to save Kurualeba, however, she died at the scene.<\/p>\n
Witnesses told police they had seen a man running from the unit complex before officers could arrive, sparking a manhunt.<\/p>\n
After hours of searching, police found 21-year-old Tuwai at Derby Street in Penrith, where he was arrested at around 7.10pm.<\/p>\n
Today, police charged Tuwai with domestic violence murder.<\/p>\n
He was refused police bail.<\/p>\n
He did not apply for bail, and his Legal Aid lawyer said he would seek mental health treatment while in custody.<\/p>\n
The matter will return to court on September 6th.<\/p>\n
