Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command were called Astoria Circuit shortly before midday yesterday (Monday 18 November 2024), and found the body of a 66-year-old woman.
A 50-year-old man was arrested at the home and taken to Maroubra Police Station, while a crime scene was established.
