A man has been charged with two counts of murder after a woman and her partner were allegedly stabbed to death in north-west Sydney yesterday morning.
Police are investigating whether the incident is a love triangle gone wrong, with the 47-year-old accused a former partner of the 38-year-old woman.
Just before 5am yesterday, emergency services were called to a home in Illabo Street in Quakers Hill after reports of a disturbance.
Police found a 30-year-old man on the footpath who had suffered apparent stab wounds to his stomach and hands.
The man was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition but he died from his injuries later.
He is yet to be identified.
The woman, Anasaini Waqavuki, was found dead inside the home, allegedly stabbed to death in the kitchen.
Police said Waqavuki was previously in a relationship with the alleged killer, and they are working on the belief the incident is domestic violence-related.
Superintendent Jason Joyce said the scene was challenging for police and paramedics.
Neighbours recalled hearing screams coming from the home in the early hours of the morning but were shocked by the news.
The 47-year-old man was arrested after he handed himself in to Blacktown Police Station about 5.30am and was charged with two counts of murder.
He has been denied bail and will front court today.
