Tragedy in Burwood: Bodies of Man and Woman Found at Apartment Complex

On August 12, 2024, the tragic discovery of two bodies sent shockwaves through the Sydney suburb of Burwood. Emergency services responded to reports of a concern for welfare at an apartment complex on Conder Street, where they made the grim discovery.

The body of a man, yet to be identified, was found in the courtyard of the complex. Police believe he may have jumped from the building due to injuries sustained to his ankles. Inside a nearby unit, officers found the body of a woman with fatal stab wounds. The deceased individuals, both of Asian descent, are estimated to be in their 20s or 30s.

Investigators are examining CCTV footage that shows a woman walking towards the unit, leading them to discover the victim’s body. Police are still investigating the possibility that the man and woman knew each other and are exploring various motives, including domestic violence and murder-suicide. Formal identification of the victims is crucial for both the investigation and informing their families.

A crime scene has been established at the complex, with a second crime scene at the unit where the woman’s body was found. Police urge anyone with information to contact authorities. This tragic event has left the Burwood community in mourning and highlights the importance of addressing domestic violence and mental health concerns.
