Family devastated at woman's death
Yahoo!7 January 25, 2014, 6:27 pm
The family of an Irish woman who was found next to a car in a pool of blood has revealed the devastation her death has caused.
Comrie Cullen was found in a carpark at Taren Point in Sydney's south by a man walking his dog, Yahoo! UK reported.
It is believe Cullen's estranged husband, Christopher, was found in mangroves nearby with serious cuts to his arms and torso. Police believe these injuries were self-inflicted.
Ms Cullen had recently separated with Mr Cullen after a 15-year marriage.
New South Wales Superintendent Gregory Antonjuk said: "We have the understanding that they were married for a period of 15-16 years and as of late last year, around October, the couple became estranged and there was some domestic incidents related to that reported to police.
"As a consequence of those reports an apprehended violence order was issued by the courts. A male was located exiting the mangrove swamp area near the vicinity of the crime scene.
"That person exhibited significant injuries to his arms and upper torso. He was immediately taken into custody and conveyed to a local hospital where he currently remains under police guard pending further treatment and surgery."
Police officials in Northern Ireland issued a statement on behalf of the family, who hailed from Bangor, Co Down
"Our family is devastated by Comrie's tragic death and we would ask for no media intrusion at this time," they said.
