A WOMAN has been charged with murder after a 29-year-old Irish national died when he was allegedly stabbed in the neck on the driveway of a south west Sydney home overnight.
Emergency services found the victim with a stab wound to his neck at Watson Rd in Padstow at 12.20am today but he could not be revived.
Police took a 36-year-old Revesby man and a 25-year-old woman from Ireland in for questioning.
Police later charged the woman, who knew the victim, with murder and the man was still assisting detectives with their inquiries.
Bankstown Police Station’s crime manager Glen Fitzgerald said three women and the 29-year-old man were at the home when a second man, who was known to the women, turned up at the house and an argument broke out.
“At the location, we’ve established there are three females at the place and one other male. Prior to the actual incident, a second male has come home,” Insp Fitzgerald said.
“All five people are known to each other, albeit one of those males only tonight.
“Four of them seem to live at this address; one of the males was at an establishment with them earlier in the day.”
The NSW Police Force is working with the Irish Consulate in Sydney.
The women were not injured during the incident, but the 36-year-old only had minor scratches to his face.
Police from Bankstown Local Area Command, with assistance from State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad are investigating.
The woman was refused bail and will appear in Parramatta Local Court tomorrow
