British woman died after 'alleged domestic incident' at Sydney home
Police are investigating the "suspicious death" of a British woman following an alleged domestic violence incident at her home in Sydney.
Marketing executive Claire Austin, 38, crashed through a glass door at her apartment in Randwick, a suburb in the east of the city, on Saturday morning, according to local media. Police said she was found critically injured with a "severe laceration" to her arm and died in hospital on Tuesday.
Officers spoke to a 44-year-old man, known to the woman, at the scene who was released without charge, according to the New South Wales force. No arrests have been made and police are investigating how Ms Austin, who was reportedly born in Britain but had lived in Australia for the past decade, was injured.
In an interview with the Australian Daily Telegraph, NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Peter Thurtell said the incident was "an absolute tragedy and the loss of another precious life". "People have to stop dying in situations of domestic violence," he said.
"Whether it's women or men, and most of the time it is women who die in DV situations, it is tragic and it has to end." NSW Premier Chris Minns described reports of Ms Austin's death as "disturbing.
