Australian police have charged a man with murder over a fatal stabbing in Sydney's western suburbs.



A police statement on Monday said that emergency services were called to reports of a woman being located with stab wounds at a unit in Mount Pritchard, 28 km west of central Sydney, shortly after 5 p.m. on Sunday.



Ambulance paramedics arrived and treated the 62-year-old woman, but she died at the scene.



A 28-year-old man was arrested at the residence and taken to a nearby police station. According to police, the man and the victim were known to each other.

Detectives established a crime scene and, following inquiries with assistance from the homicide squad, charged the 28-year-old man with one count of murder as an act of domestic violence.



He was refused bail and would make an initial appearance at a Sydney court on Monday.
