Man Charged With Murder After Woman Found Dead In Sydney Bushland

A 47-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Leanne Akrap, a 47-year-old woman whose body was found dumped in bushland in Werrington, western Sydney. Police discovered Ms. Akrap's remains on Sunday in a reserve near her suspected home, with forensic teams investigating the scene and a nearby unit block. The man was arrested at a home in Hobartville and refused bail ahead of his court appearance. Authorities confirmed that the man was known to Ms. Akrap, though they were not in a domestic relationship. Investigators found clothing items and rubbish near the body, which appeared to have been there for several days. Police continue to prepare a coroner's report as the homicide squad leads the ongoing investigation.
