A man has been arrested after a young mother was found dead inside a home in Sydney’s southwest.
Emergency services rushed to a unit complex on Knox Street in Belmore after receiving reports of a woman in distress at 7.50am on Wednesday.
The woman, believed to be in her 30s, was found dead inside one of the units.
A 35-year-old man was arrested at a home in Denham Court, about 30km east of Belmore, following police inquiries.
He has been taken to Campbelltown Police Station where he is assisting officers.
The woman’s death is being treated as suspicious.
She is yet to be formally identified but is understood to be a Lebanese mother-of-five whose youngest child is only six months old.
‘The mother used to come into our store. She was very calm. It’s so sad because they have five kids,’ a local worker told Daily Mail Australia.
