Homicide Squad detectives have charged a Greenacre woman with allegedly murdering and dismembering her husband last year.

In July 2023, officers attached to Bankstown Police Area Command were called to a home on Juno Parade, Greenacre, following reports a 62-year-old man had not been seen since May 2023.

Police immediately commenced inquiries to locate the man, including a public appeal for information.

During these inquiries, police deemed the disappearance suspicious, and detectives attached to State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad established Strike Force Tannerie to investigate the incident.

Following extensive investigations, strike force detectives arrested a 53-year-old woman – and wife of the missing man – at a hospital in Bankstown, at about 1pm on Thursday 3 October 2024.

She was taken to Bankstown Police Station about 10am yesterday (Friday 4 October 2024) where she was charged with murder DV.

At the same time, strike force detectives – with assistance from specialist officers – executed a crime scene warrant at a home on Juno Parade, Greenacre.

The woman was refused bail to appear before Bankstown Local Court yesterday where she was further refused bail to appear before Burwood Local Court on Wednesday 11 December 2024.

Detectives will allege in court the woman killed her husband before cutting up his body to hide the remains.

Investigations under Strike Force Tannerie continue.

Anyone with information that may assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
