00:02A 90-year-old grandmother stabbed 19 times in the throat and torso.
00:08Paramedics attempted to save her life, but she died at the scene.
00:12Her 47-year-old grandson, Sergey Mitnick, stands accused of her alleged murder.
00:18He was cooperative with police at the scene where he was arrested,
00:21taken to Surrey Hills Police Station, and throughout the evening
00:25underwent forensic procedures, interviews, and was charged with murder.
00:29Today, he was refused bail after his lawyer told a judge
00:33Mr. Mitnick's use of popular weight-loss drug Ozempic
00:37and a missed psychologist appointment were to blame.
00:41The incident here in Bondi wasn't the only one on Saturday.
00:45Two other women were killed that same day,
00:48including a 23-year-old woman in Wagga Wagga, who was allegedly also stabbed.
00:53We arrested a 31-year-old male in connection to the death of the lady.
00:58That male has since been charged with domestic violence-related murder.
01:02He's been identified as her partner, Adam Parham, who's also been refused bail.
01:08Further north in Mole River, police responded to a domestic violence report,
01:12where they found the body of a 70-year-old woman.
01:16They've since arrested and charged a 37-year-old man with her alleged murder.
01:21They were loved in their communities by their families,
01:24and they have lost their lives to this vile domestic violence.
01:29One offense is too many. One, you know, alleged murder is too many.
01:35We just have to work together to do better.
01:38These cases bring the number of Australian women killed due to domestic violence this year to 52.
01:45two.
