HEARTBREAKING HORROR ON PARRAMATTA RIVER: FATHER PLANNED TO K*LL 6-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER THEN HIMSELF!
A rented boat drifting empty… a su!c!de note revealing the unthinkable. A Sydney dad allegedly rehearsed this nightmare for days before throwing his little girl into the water. The full devastating details and what police uncovered will shock you.
A Sydney father accused of murdering his six-year-old daughter at the Parramatta River on Saturday before ending his own life hired the rental boat several times before the tragedy.
Officers received a triple-0 call from a passer-by who saw the man floating face down in the water.
The 47-year-old man was found floating in Hen and Chicken Bay at Concord in Sydney’s inner west shortly before 11.45am on Saturday.
Before his body was found, the man was seen in the rental boat with his six-year-old daughter.
The little girl could not be found after the man’s body was discovered, sparking a major search by police.
Shortly after 5.30pm on Saturday, about seven hours after the alarm was raised, police located the body of the little girl on the waterbed.
It’s understood neither could swim.
Speaking to 2GB’s Ben Fordham, NSW Police Superintendent Joseph McNulty said police suspected the incident to be a murder-suicide.
He revealed officers uncovered a suicide note from the scene.
“There’s a lot of facts to go through,” he said.
“It is a complex investigation just to work out the reasons why.”
He said the incident was “horrific” and police were working through “a lot more to prepare a report for the coroner”.
“We have looked at the evidence at this person’s home address, uncovered a lot of data that will be sifted through,” he said.
“We’re trying to make sense of this senseless crime.”
