A quiet street in the historic town of Goulburn has been shattered by a horrific double murder that has left the local community in a state of profound shock and grief.
New South Wales Police were called to a residence on Bradley Street shortly after 10:30 AM on Tuesday, where they made a grim discovery: the bodies of a 41-year-old woman and her 13-year-old son.
The scene that greeted officers was one of unimaginable violence, prompting an immediate and large-scale investigation by detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad.
A Community in Mourning
The tight-knit community of Goulburn, renowned for its iconic Big Merino and rich history, is now grappling with an overwhelming sense of loss. Neighbours and local residents have expressed their devastation, describing the victims as a loving mother and her young son.
Forensic officers have conducted a meticulous examination of the property as part of the ongoing investigation to piece together the final moments of the victims' lives.
Swift Arrest and Charges Laid
In a significant development, police have confirmed the arrest of a 19-year-old man in connection with the deaths. The suspect, who is believed to have been known to the victims, was taken into custody without incident.
The young man has since been charged with two counts of murder and was refused bail to appear before Goulburn Local Court.
This swift action by NSW Police has provided a small measure of solace to a community desperate for answers, though many questions about the motive behind such a brutal act remain unanswered.
As the legal process begins, the town of Goulburn is left to mourn and support one another through an immense tragedy that has forever changed a quiet neighbourhood.
