Police being examined for their response to suspected domestic violence killing.

An investigation has been launched to look into the way the police handled a domestic violence incident that took place in northern New South Wales last night. According to reports, a woman was allegedly murdered and a man is currently facing charges for this crime. The incident occurred at a home on Johnston Street in Casino, which is located southwest of Byron Bay. The call for help was made to Triple Zero at around 1:30am, as stated by NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna APM.

It has been reported that the police did not respond to the call until 2:25am, and they arrived at the scene at 2:27am. Upon their arrival, they found the woman unconscious with obvious injuries to her head. Despite their efforts, her condition worsened and she passed away at the scene. The suspect, a 31-year-old man, was immediately arrested and taken to Lismore Police Station. Later in the day, Assistant Commissioner McKenna announced that the man was being charged with murder.

The delay in the police's response to the call has raised concerns and prompted the need for an independent investigation. As stated by McKenna, the delay was significant enough to warrant a closer look into the situation. The investigation will not only examine the response time of the police, but also their actions leading up to the call and any other ongoing situations at the time. The way the radio operator handled the call will also be analyzed.

In light of this tragic incident, McKenna made it clear that the NSW Police is committed to addressing and combating domestic violence. He stated that they are constantly striving to make a difference and that domestic violence is a top priority for them. Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to come forward and contact the local police or Crime Stoppers. It is important to remember that support is available for those affected by domestic violence through the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service at 1800RESPECT.
