Tragedy in Rosemeadow: Three Dead After Domestic Incident

A 32-year-old man is in police custody after three family members were killed in a violent incident at a home in Sydney’s southwest.

Police were called to a disturbance on Juliet Close in Rosemeadow at approximately 1:30 AM on Sunday. Reports indicated that several people had been assaulted by a man known to them.

What Police Found

Upon arrival, officers discovered:

  • The body of a woman in her 60s
  • The body of a man in his 20s
  • A 64-year-old man with serious head injuries

The injured man was treated by paramedics and taken to Liverpool Hospital, where he later died.

The Suspect

A 32-year-old man arrived at the scene in a silver sedan approximately one hour after police. He was arrested and taken to Campbelltown police station for questioning.

Police believe the arrested individual is a relative of the deceased: the son of the couple and the brother of the man in his 20s.

A 30-year-old sibling was also injured during the incident and contacted police. He has since been released from hospital.

Investigation Underway

Superintendent Grant Healey stated that multiple weapons may have been used, including:

  • A bladed weapon
  • A blunt-force object, potentially a hammer

"The family was not previously known to police, and no prior domestic violence reports involving them had been made," Superintendent Healey said.

The homicide squad is assisting with the investigation. A report will be prepared for the coroner.

No charges have been laid as of Sunday morning.
