A woman from Northern Ireland has been found murdered in a car park in Sydney, Australia.

The body of 39 year-old Comrie Cullen was discovered in a suburb of Sydney yesterday.

The mother of three had knife wounds and a 50 year-old man is in hospital with chest and wrist injuries.

Police in New South Wales say the incident was 'domestic-related', while the Foreign Office in London is providing consular assistance to the family.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland says it is liaising with the victim's family.
