A mother-of-three young children was allegedly bashed to death by her estranged partner.

Amira Moghnieh, 30, died on Wednesday night inside the home of Ahmad Hodroj, 36, who she had recently separated from.

Ms Moghnieh, who has three children aged between two and six, was discovered unconscious at a Bexley home, about 6pm, suffering critical injuries.

She died a short time later.

Police arrested Hodroj, 36, near the scene and later charged him with murder.

He is due to face Sutherland Local Court on Thursday.

Relatives told The Daily Telegraph the pair had recently separated, and Ms Moghnieh was living in Bankstown.

It is understood she had gone to Hodroj’s home as part of a custody arrangement, when she was allegedly murdered.

On a Lebanese social media page, tributes were posted to Ms Moghnieh who was described as a singer and performer.

“May your soul rest in heaven, my love,” one tribute read.

Emergency services were called to a home in Bexley in Sydney’s south at 6pm on Wednesday after reports a woman was unresponsive.

NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived at the Unwin Street property and began working to treat the 30-year-old woman but she died at the scene.

A group of people said to be family of Hodroj attended the crime scene at around 10:30am on Thursday, staying less than a minute before leaving in a small car.

When approached, the five family members did not provide any comment but asked whether Hodroj’s name would be publicised.

“Will his name be on the news,” a young man asked.

A neighbouring resident said the occupants of the Unwin Street home where Mr Hodroj resided hadn’t really engaged with others in the street.

“They don’t talk to anyone,” she said.

“They don’t say hello. Every other neighbour does but they are very quiet.”

The woman said she was “shocked” by the police car presence on her street when she returned home from work at around 8pm Wednesday.

“My kids were scared,” she said.

“I did not expect it. Bexley is pretty safe and this area is good. We’ve never had a situation like this ever.”

Other nearby residents say they heard no screaming or noise on the evening of Ms Moghnieh’s death, only emergency services once they had arrived.

“They we’re here for hours,” one neighbour said of the emergency crews.
