A Sydney woman has been charged with murdering her husband, almost 18 months since he was last seen.
New South Wales police said on Saturday that the woman, 53, allegedly cut up the 62-year-old’s body in order to hide his remains.
An investigation into the man’s disappearance began in July 2023, when police said they were called to a home at Greenacre in Sydney’s west after he had not been seen since May.
In a statement, police said his disappearance was later deemed suspicious.
A woman, who police identified as the missing man’s wife, was arrested at a hospital in Bankstown on Thursday.
She was charged with murder and was remanded in custody after facing court on Friday.
The woman is due to return to court in December.
