Transcript

00:00I believe around 1.40 this morning, a 39-year-old woman fell from the seventh floor of an apartment

00:07building right here in Parramatta and as you can see behind me, investigation is still

00:11very much underway.

00:12Police have created a further out exclusion zone, the crime scene was smaller at the time

00:18but they have asked people and the public to move backwards as they conduct aerial imaging

00:22of this street, perhaps to get a better idea of understanding the nature of the heist as

00:26well as the situation that has occurred this morning.

00:30Now already, a 40-year-old man known to the woman, believed to be her partner, is talking

00:35to police.

00:36He's being questioned by police as we speak and remains at Parramatta Police Station as

00:39part of the investigation that is underway.

00:43Police are also hoping to speak to people who live in this apartment block to perhaps

00:47learn more about what happened after and in the lead up to this woman falling from the

00:52seventh floor.

00:54Already from the few people we've spoken to off camera, there was very limited knowledge

00:57of this incident, some people mentioning that they were either away and had only recently

01:01come back or indeed were asleep at the time of the incident.

01:05Now as for the incident itself, police attended the scene alongside paramedics and other emergency

01:11services where initially her critical injuries were attempted to be treated including the

01:15provision of CPR to the woman, however unable to revive her and she did die at the scene.

01:21This is very much an evolving scene as you can see, this investigation is still underway

01:25here Dan, so hopefully more clarity to come on this investigation as it continues.
