A MAN is due in court today charged with the murder of a woman on the Central Coast.
Police were called to Birrerik Close, Wamberal, about 4pm yesterday and discovered the body of a 45-year-old woman inside.
It appeared she had suffered a number of stab wounds.
They arrested a 48-year-old man a short time later and he was taken to Gosford Hospital for observation.
A police statement said whilst at hospital, the man allegedly kicked a police officer in the back.
He was later taken to Gosford police station where he was charged with murder and assault police.
He was refused bail to appear in Gosford Local Court this morning.
A 16-year-old boy and a six-week-old boy were taken to Gosford Hospital for precautionary medical assessment.
the woman that was murdered is actually my cousins, best friends aunty. and this cousins mum(my aunty obviously) is staying with us at the moment and my cousin rang last night to tell us about it.
apparently the 16 year old boy, came home to find his step father stabbing his mother, he ran and the step father chased him but he got to a friends.
police wouldnt even let anyone identify the womans body, they said the boy seeing it happen was enough to id and didnt want anyone else seeing what had been done to her.
thank god he didnt go for the baby too
my cousins friends mum will be taking the poor little baby in to raise as they are the only family and the 16 year old will have the choice to go with them or with his real father.
so sad
