Crime scene Police dust a car and photograph the home today.Man in custody after woman dies, two men injured on Far South Coast. Home at number 123 East st Bega where the incident happened. A man has been under police guard in hospital after a woman died and two men were critically injured on the Far South Coast yesterday. It was about 3.35pm (Friday 1 June 2018), that a passing motorist was flagged down by 71-year-old man seeking help after being stabbed at his home in East Street, Bega. Emergency services arrived to find the man and his 69-year-old wife critically injured. The woman died at the South East Regional Hospital and the man is in a critical condition. Police have been advised he was airlifted to St George Hospital. A short time later, officers from the South Coast Police District engaged in pursuits of a car belonging to the couple being driven by a 20-year-old man. About 4.40pm, a 55-year-old man was allegedly struck in the head with a hammer by the same 20-year-old man during the carjacking of his vehicle on the Sapphire Coast Drive in Bournda. That man has been airlifted to St George Hospital where he also remains in a critical condition. A woman who was a passenger in the car at the time escaped without injury. The car crashed 500m further down the road and the driver ran into bushland. Specialist officers – including the police airwing, PolAir, Negotiators and State Protection Support Unit (SPSU) operatives – were called to assist local police and a perimeter was established. About 8.20pm the man was arrested and taken to the South East Regional Hospital for assessment. Pic Katrina Walsh
