A 56-year-old man will face court today charged with the murder of his 82-year-old mother in the pair’s NSW Central Coast home yesterday.
Police say that at around 5.15pm on Thursday, emergency services were called to a home on Eastern Road in Tumbi Umbi following reports of a concern for welfare.
“On arrival, NSW Ambulance paramedics located an 82-year-old woman deceased in the home with head injuries,” NSW Police said in a statement this morning.
Officers from Tuggerah Lakes Police District attended and arrested a 56-year-old man at the scene where he was taken to Wyong Police Station.
Police will allege that the man assaulted his mother earlier that morning with a pot plant before leaving the home and later returning, when he called for the assistance of emergency services personnel.
He was refused bail to appear at Wyong Local Court today.
