Second child dies after alleged car stabbing
Three children and a woman were discovered with stab wounds in a car in Sydney's Blue Mountains on Sunday, with witnesses providing first aid before emergency services arrived. The five-year-old child was pronounced dead at the scene, while the three-year-old remains in critical condition and the one-year-old has now also passed away at Westmead Hospital.
On Thursday, police confirmed the one-year-old's death and charged the woman with murder, domestic violence, and two counts of wounding with intent to murder. She was denied bail and will face an additional charge of murder over the death of the one-year-old. Local Superintendent John Nelson revealed the father learned of the alleged attack while at work.
The woman has no prior criminal record with police. Support services include 1800 RESPECT, Lifeline, Kids Helpline, and beyondblue.
