Woman charged with murder of ex-lover after man’s body was found in west Sydney

A woman was charged with murder after the body of her ex-partner was found in a unit in western Sydney.

Emergency services were called to a home on St Marys in Sydney around 12.30pm Sunday after concerns were raised for the well-being of a resident.

The police found the body of 35-year-old Geo Sione, who allegedly suffered serious head injuries.

Forensic officers investigated the crime scene before 34-year-old Naea Moli was arrested and charged at the St Marys Police Station.

Police said the defendant was known to the man and claimed it was a domestic incident.

“They had been together for 10 years, they emigrated from New Zealand and are known to the police,” said Detective Inspector Jason Pietruszka.

“This is a horrible incident, it shows what can happen at its worst with regards to domestic violence; we encourage all victims of domestic violence to contact the police.”

9 News reports that Moli allegedly used an ax to beat her 10-year-old ex-partner while he was in bed.

CCTV footage allegedly shows Moli smoking a cigarette outside St Marys’ property.

“She was calm and realistic about what had happened,” Detective Inspector Jason Pietruska told reporters on Monday.

“She spoke to the police freely, was lucid and provided the information. We responded accordingly.”

He appeared in Penrith Local Court on Monday and did not request bail, which was formally denied.

The police remain at the scene.
