And yes, this is yet another allegation of male perpetrated violence against a woman.
00:08
And in this case, police say that emergency services were called to a home in Cobram.
00:16
This is a regional town which is on the Victorian New South Wales border, about 260 kilometres
00:23
north of Melbourne.
00:25
They were called to this house on Tuesday afternoon and discovered the body of a 49-year-old
00:30
woman inside and last night we found out that detectives from Cobram Crime Investigation
00:35
Unit have charged a 39-year-old man from the area with several charges.
00:41
Now they include intentionally causing reckless injury, recklessly cause injury, common law
00:47
assault, aggravated assault of a female and unlawful assault.
00:52
Police will allege that the pair knew each other, however we don't know the details of
00:58
that relationship as yet.
01:01
And it's not being investigated by the Homicide Squad at the moment, it's still being looked
01:05
after by Cobram Crime Investigation Unit.
01:09
We understand that that is due to the fact that we are still awaiting details of those
01:14
forensic results.
01:16
Now we do know that this man faced an out-of-sessions hearing last night and at that stage police
01:24
had been attempting to ensure that he was kept in custody and was remanded until a court
01:31
appearance tomorrow in the Shepparton Magistrates Court.
01:35
As I mentioned before, yet another case where it's alleged that a male has perpetrated violence
01:41
against a woman.
01:43
And if we take a look at the figures from Counting Women Deaths or Counting Dead Women,
01:52
that body that actually looks at these sorts of cases, we've already got up to 25 women
01:58
who have allegedly been killed by men.
02:02
That is 11 more than at the same time last year, Dan.
02:07
And most disturbingly, and particularly in relation to the allegations involving this
02:12
case, you're seeing more and more of these cases that are happening in regional areas.
