00:00
Yes, Roz, police received reports at about 6.20 p.m. yesterday of a 42-year-old woman
00:08
with serious injuries at the local health clinic in Lajamanu with a large crowd gathered.
00:15
Now police attended the scene and the woman was declared dead a short time later.
00:20
It's believed she sustained stab injuries from an edged weapon.
00:25
Shortly afterwards, police arrested the woman's 46-year-old male partner who was nearby and
00:32
had allegedly been assaulted by a group of unknown community members.
00:37
He sustained non-life-threatening injuries and remains in custody.
00:42
Two crime scenes have since been declared and major crime detectives have taken over
00:47
the investigation.
00:49
It's believed the woman's partner will be charged later on this evening in relation
00:54
to her death.
00:55
And police are calling for any witnesses to come forward.
00:59
And Charmaine, this follows a domestic violence-related assault in Katherine over the weekend.
01:04
What updates do we have on that incident?
01:07
Yes, police attended a home in Katherine East on Saturday night following a concern for
01:15
welfare.
01:16
When they arrived, they found a 61-year-old woman with serious injuries.
01:21
She was rushed to the Katherine hospital by ambulance in a critical condition and later
01:26
airlifted to the Royal Darwin Hospital.
01:30
Police believe at some point on Friday night that the woman was allegedly assaulted by
01:35
her 68-year-old male partner, who also allegedly assaulted another 68-year-old man who attempted
01:41
to intervene.
01:43
That man has since been arrested and remanded in custody to appear at the Darwin local court
01:48
tomorrow.
01:50
But this comes just two weeks after a 22-year-old woman in Katherine was allegedly murdered
01:56
by her 36-year-old male partner.
01:59
He's since been arrested and charged in relation to her death, but it certainly is a deeply
02:04
concerning string of incidents happening in the Northern Territory in recent weeks.
