00:02A shocking and violent crime on a quiet leafy street.
00:06It's confronting, yes. That would be the best way to describe it.
00:10Emergency services were called to a stabbing at Dryandra Street in O'Connor just after half past eight this morning.
00:18On arrival they located a female who had sustained significant injuries.
00:22She was treated and transported to hospital where sadly she succumbed to her injuries.
00:29A 51-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to hospital under police guard.
00:36He was a relative of the female. That's about all I can say at the moment.
00:41The woman's husband, also in his 70s, was wounded too and is undergoing treatment in hospital.
00:48A neighbour has told the ABC she heard screams from the property this morning
00:53and saw the male victim being let out of the home by paramedics covered in blood.
00:58Anyone with more information about the incident is being urged to contact Crimestoppers.
01:04Forensic officers have been scouring the scene for evidence
01:08and a major police cordon has remained in place on the street throughout the day.
01:13Homicide detectives say charges could be laid overnight.
