November 14, 2008 - 6:33AM
Police are investigating a possible double murder after the bodies of two women were found in a unit complex in Auburn last night.
Emergency services were called to the complex on the corner of Queen and Harrow streets about 6pm, said Detective-Inspector Paul Goddard, of Flemington Local Command.
"They found two people of Asian appearance deceased within the unit. Police are treating the deaths as suspicious."
Ambulance officers had found the bodies in a first-floor bedroom, and they had signs of injuries. The causes of the deaths were unknown late last night.
Inspector Pat Wunsch from Flemington Local Area Command said a neighbour first discovered the bodies in the apartment and then called police.
She had keys to the unit as many of the rooms in the apartment block are sub-let, he said.
He said the ages of the women have not been confirmed, "but they are certainly not elderly women''.
He also said there were no signs of forced entry and at this stage there are no signs of robbery.
About six people who police believed shared the apartment with the dead women were gathered outside the building. They were being interviewed last night.
Officers from the public order riot squad searched the complex, trawling through plant beds and garden areas. Dozens of residents from the surrounding buildings gathered outside the block, some in shock, as they watched the investigation unfold.
Forensics officers and Homicide Squad detectives were at the apartment complex overnight and remained there this morning.
The bodies of the two women were taken to Glebe Morgue about 4am, where they will undergo a post mortem.
Police interviewed a number of people from the block where the bodies were found, with the help of interpreters who spoke Cantonese and Mandarin.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said she had overheard police say there was a witness to the incident.
The neighbour said she had heard others talking about the sound of screams coming from the building shortly before emergency services personnel had arrived. "Apparently there was a woman screaming."
The Auburn Central unit complex, which has closed-circuit television, is a new development in one of the highest density residential areas in western Sydney.
It houses thousands of people, many of them families with young children.
The buildings range from four to 10 storeys.作者: qian403 时间: 14-11-2008 09:14

Sex trade theory in case of dead pair

TWO women found dead in bed in an Auburn flat may have been sex workers.
The bodies, which police sources said had wounds to their throats, were found by a friend in the first-floor flat in Queen Street before 6pm on Thursday.
An autopsy report made public last night said both women were killed by a "sharp force injury" but it was unclear whether they were stabbed to death or had their throats cut.
Both were found face-down in the bedroom of the flat they shared with a family of four. The partly decomposed bodies had been in the room for "some time", said the Fairfield area commander, Superintendent Brett Henderson.
After finding the women - both Chinese and in their late 20s or early 30s - the friend went to an ambulance station across the road and told officers of his discovery. The officers saw the bodies for themselves and called police.
Detectives are investigating the possibility that the dead women may have been sex workers. The Department of Immigration confirmed it was investigating their status but would not comment.
Yesterday detectives from the homicide squad and the Fairfield command formed Strike Force Community to investigate the deaths.
Police evacuated flats in the building on Thursday evening as they searched for clues.
The bodies were removed from the block of flats via an underground garage about 3.30am yesterday.
Police were still interviewing several people who had been in the flat recently, including the man who discovered the bodies.
No weapon has been found.
Police brought in several Mandarin speakers and an Arabic interpreter to interview the unit's neighbours, and the flat remained cordoned off as a crime scene last night.
Officers from the public order and riot squad checked the courtyard at the large block of flats several times, searching communal gardens and patios.
Several neighbours described the women as being happy and friendly. "They always looked like they were having fun," said one neighbour, James Kim. "One of them seemed like she had a very vibrant personality. They were always together. I didn't say much to them because they didn't seem to speak much English."
Most neighbours had assumed the pair were English-language students, he said. "Whenever I saw them they had backpacks on, which suggests they were students." He had last seen them about a week ago.
Police are having difficulty confirming the names of the women, who had Chinese and English names.

据The Daily Telegraph报道,Auburn一男子被歹徒无故用锤子击昏。
The Auburn man was shot a number of times in the head and chest on Sappho Road, off the Hume Highway, about 1:45am (AEDT).
Neighbours called 000 when they heard the shots being fired.
The man was rushed to Liverpool Hospital for treatment but died as a result of his injuries.
Local Area Commander Gary Worboys, from Liverpool Police, says all efforts are being made to track down his killers.
"I'd describe the attack as a violent and brazen attack," he said.
"It certainly concerns me as the Local Area Commander and we have got any number of resources at this crime trying to get to the bottom of it. "
Police believe a silver, two-door Honda Civic was seen leaving the area shortly after the shooting.
They closed one city-bound lane of the Hume Highway as they investigated this morning, but it has since been reopened.
Police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to call Liverpool Police on (02) 9821 8444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.作者: RJK 时间: 15-11-2008 13:58 标题: 悉尼连续第二起枪案-Lidcombe- Not far from Auburn 继昨日的西南区枪杀案后,西区再发生一起枪案,地点在Railway Parade Lidcombe,警方认为两起案件没有任何关联,案犯怀疑是一名保安并驾驶白色Holden Barina hatchback离开现场,受害者腹部中枪目前正在Westmead Hospital抢救.
A man has been shot in the stomach in Sydney's west in what police say was an "unintended shooting".
The 38-year-old man was shot in the stomach at Railway Parade in Lidcombe about 9.30am today, police said.
Police believe the gunman drove off in a white Holden Barina.
Acting Inspector Brad Thorne, from Auburn Police, said investigators stopped short of calling the incident an accident.
"To say it's being treated as an accident at this stage is probably downplaying it too much," acting Inspector Thorne said.
"Even though a firearm doesn't go off on its own, it may not have been intended to happen."
He would not elaborate on how the firearm was discharged.
Acting Inspector Thorne said it appeared the men knew each other but police were not certain. Both men were of Middle Eastern ethnic origin, he said.
The incident had "no link whatsoever" to yesterday's shooting death of 26-year-old Auburn man Mustafa Assoum.
The NSW Ambulance Service said the victim was in a critical but stable condition in Westmead Hospital with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.作者: RJK 时间: 15-11-2008 13:59 标题: 悉尼各城区宗教信仰人群分布图 据2008年10月13日《悉尼晨锋报》报道,在悉尼,三分之一的人口是天主教徒,另外三分之一是英国国教圣公会教徒,不到0.2%人口属于穆斯林教徒。在主要由白领和蓝领组成的外环城区,基督教依然是主流。

WESTERN Sydney became the nation's breeding ground for low-doc and predatory lenders during the peak of the property boom and residents are now paying the price, with the highest rates of mortgage arrears and repossessions in the country, according to the Reserve Bank.
The proportion of mortgage holders in western Sydney who are late on their loan repayments by 90 days or more is triple the national average.
A combustible mix of loose lending standards, increased appetite for debt and the structure of rewards for mortgage brokers fed a boom in lending in western Sydney in the early part of the decade, according to the Reserve Bank's Financial Stability Review released yesterday.
The boom in house prices spurred the entry of new lenders which, at best, had lower lending criteria, and, at worst, deliberately lent too much money to people they knew could not afford to meet repayments on the assumption that house price gains would cover any losses when they forced the borrower to sell their home, a practice known as "predatory lending".
"As property prices in Sydney began increasing rapidly, many borrowers turned to lenders that allowed higher maximum loan-to-valuation ratios or higher permissible debt-servicing ratios in order for them to borrow larger amounts," the report said.
"For many, the increased risk involved in such loans was perhaps perceived to be mitigated by the prospect of further house price growth."
Mortgage brokers also contributed to the lending boom, earning big upfront rewards and small ongoing commissions for writing the loans. "Concerns remain about brokers' remuneration structures," the Reserve said.
The frenzy continued up until early 2004, when the property bubble burst in western Sydney - a little later than the peak for the rest of Sydney in late 2003.
Home loans written in western Sydney in 2004 are the most likely to go bad, while people who borrowed in subsequent years were also found to struggle more than borrowers in the early part of the decade.
Fairfield-Liverpool area has the highest late-payment rate in Australia. Of the top six regions by mortgage arrears, all six are in western Sydney, including Blacktown, Canterbury and Bankstown. The pain also stretches towards the city, with the inner west registering the 11th highest arrears rates nationally.
"The available evidence suggests that newer lenders seeking to increase their market share, in part through looser lending standards, were particularly active in many of the regions with poor loan performance.
"In western Sydney, for example, mortgage originators appear to have comprised a greater share of lending than for Australia as a whole."
But bank customers are struggling to meet repayments too.
While experiencing lower arrears rates than other lenders, Australian banks have faced a steep rise in late payments in western Sydney since the start of the year, up from one in 200 to one in 125.
Across Australia, the Reserve estimates about 17,000 borrowers are 90 days or more behind on their repayments, up 2000 since the beginning of the year.
Just 0.4 per cent of outstanding loans nationally are in arrears, double the rate of three years ago, but still below the rates of the early 1990s recession. Australian are also faring much better than their American counterparts, where the proportion of prime loans with payments late by 30 days or more is about 4 per cent. In Britain, it is 2.9 per cent.
Yesterday in Sydney's south-west a family was served a statement of claim by their lender: come up with $30,000 straight away or get out on the street. The family owed $700,000, with repayments of about $6000 a month, but they had not paid for three months. The lender had added its legal costs to the bill it had presented them.
Nearby, a family with three children found the sheriff's officers locking them out. They turned to relatives for help and the relatives spent the day trying to find out what they would have to pay to get them back in.
In a third case, a householder in the west was faced with legal action when it was found their financial broker had got their loan by giving the lender misleading information. The householder had battled on borrowing wherever he could but had reached a brick wall.
Karen Cox, the co-ordinator for the Consumer Credit Legal Centre, received each of those calls yesterday in what has become a typical day for her.
There were things people could do, such as getting a reference to the finance ombudsman or the credit ombudsman through an entitlement to a hardship variation or through a negotiated arrangement.
The MP for Blaxland, Jason Clare, whose electorate comprises Bankstown, Punchbowl and Chester Hill, said: "In the sheriff's office in Bankstown, there's a whiteboard with 30 names on it, and they're the 30 families who will lose their homes in the next two weeks."
A senior researcher at the St Vincent de Paul Society, Andy Marks, said the number of clients asking for financial assistance has grown exponentially in western and south-western Sydney.

Police are investigating six attempted abductions of Sydney children in a month.
In the latest, a brave nine-year-old girl pushed a man to the ground when he tried to grab her in Sydney's south-west, police say.
As in yesterday's attempt, some of the other incidents have involved a white van, while others have occurred in the same part of Sydney.
At this stage, police say there is nothing to suggest a link between the abduction attempts.
"We haven't declared any established links ... [but] that's something we'll be looking at with all matters of this nature," a police spokesman said.
A staff member at St Patrick's Primary School, in Blacktown, said today that flyers had been put in students' bags warning them about strangers, following the latest abduction attempt.
The school principal had recently warned students during assembly of "stranger danger", she said.
Fear and warning
Others spoke about trying to achieve a balance between instilling fear in students and warning them of abduction attempts.
Sharon Johnson, a Parents and Citizens' Association of NSW spokeswoman, said the recent case of the "buck-toothed" rapist might have encouraged more reports of attempted abductions.
"It's not so much that it's occurring more, but more children are coming forward and saying 'This happened,' " she said.
She said there had been more discussion at schools about abductions this year than ever before.
"In the past, students may have thought 'Maybe it was my imagination,' but now [they know to report the incident]."
There were 247 abduction attempts in Sydney in 2007, according to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics - but they include all age ranges. Of those, 24 were in the Blacktown area and 25 were in the Outer Western Sydney area, which includes St Marys and Cambridge Park.
Grabbed
The girl in yesterday's attack had just finished school and was walking along Rhoades Lane to meet her father about 3.20pm when a man approached her, police said.
After saying something briefly to the girl, the man grabbed her wrist. The girl told police she pushed the man and he fell over.
A man then drove towards them in an older style white Toyota van and called for the first man to get in, police said.
As the van drove away along Rhoades Lane, the girl ran back to her school and contacted police.
She was not seriously injured, police said.
Last week, police released CCTV images of a white van used in the attempted abduction of a 14-year-old girl in Tempe this month. The van was later captured on camera driving along the Princes Highway.
There have also been a spate of abduction attempts on schoolchildren in Sydney's north-west in recent weeks.
Two men sought
Police are looking for two men who tried to abduct two girls, aged 11 and 12, in Blacktown, as they walked to their primary school last Friday morning.
The men drove up alongside the pair, on Flushcombe Road, and tried to lure them into a grey four-wheel-drive, police said.
Police said the driver of the car beeped the horn, got out of the vehicle and asked the girls to get in.
As the girls ran towards their school they were followed by the car for a short distance, police said.
Last month, there were two abduction attempts - within a few days - on a 14-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy in adjacent suburbs, St Marys and Cambridge Park.
Ponytail
An 11-year-old girl was also grabbed by the ponytail by a man attempting to abduct her in nearby Blacktown.
The first man involved in yesterday's abduction attempt in Auburn has been described as being of white/European appearance, with dark blue eyes and a skinny build.
He was wearing a white T-shirt, black dress pants and shoes. He had dark hair on the backs of his hands.
He was wearing a balaclava.
No further description of the driver of the van was available.
