Following the discovery of a woman’s death in a tent and the arrest of a guy covered in blood, a homicide investigation has been initiated at a caravan park in a remote town in New South Wales.
The woman’s body was discovered at a Gunnedah Tourist Caravan Park on Henry Street in Gunnedah, in the central north of the state, around 8.20am today.
A 29-year-old male was arrested in connection with the discovery.
According to Chief Inspector Michael Wurth, a guy drenched in blood met the police when they arrived at the scene, and the corpse of the woman was found in a tent not long after.
“Police were called to a disturbance at a caravan park, on arrival police were confronted by a male person with blood on him,” said Wurth.
“Investigations revealed a person in a nearby tent was seriously injured.”
The scene, he said, was “traumatic.”
Even though rescuers arrived, the woman passed away instantly.
Police confiscated a knife that was discovered at the location.
According to Wurth, the police were summoned after an initial disturbance at the property.
The lady is probably in her 50s, at the earliest.

The individual is currently aiding law enforcement at the Gunnedah Police Station after being transported there.

Thus far, no accusations have been made.
The Homicide Squad has been informed, and they are currently conducting an investigation.
