Accident – Death – Obituary News : A 32-year-old man has been charged with murder by the NSW Police after his alleged partner was discovered dead in Sydney’s west. The tragic incident unfolded at a unit complex in Auburn, prompting a swift response from law enforcement following reports of a domestic-related altercation on Wednesday evening.
Upon arrival at the scene just after 7.30pm, police officers and paramedics found a man in his 50s with severe head injuries. Despite efforts to treat him, the victim succumbed to his injuries and passed away on-site. The swift actions of the authorities led to the arrest of the 32-year-old suspect, identified as Rory Schade, in a nearby street in Auburn.
Following his apprehension, Mr. Schade was taken into custody at Auburn Police Station, where homicide detectives formally charged him with murder. It has been confirmed by NSW Police that the victim and the accused were known to each other and were in a relationship, leading investigators to classify the incident as a case of domestic violence.
Neighbours residing in the western Sydney suburb of Auburn expressed shock and disbelief at the tragic turn of events, describing the deceased as a gentle and kind-hearted individual. The accused, Rory Schade, has been labelled a “violent offender” with a troubling history of criminal activities, including charges related to violent assaults and alleged breaches of bail conditions.
During a brief court appearance at Burwood Local Court, Mr. Schade opted not to apply for bail and will remain in custody until his next scheduled court appearance in July. The timing of this alleged domestic violence incident is particularly poignant as it comes just days before LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day on May 28.
