Paramedics rushed to the scene and tried to revive Ms Nahu but she was unable to be saved and was pronounced dead.
James Fredes, 58, who had only recently moved into her house, was arrested at the scene. The man, who was Ms Nahu’s partner, was refused bail at Campbelltown Local Court today and is expected before the same court again on December 12 via video link.
Neighbour Mattie, who did not wish to give her surname, was close friends with Ms Nahu and became tearful when she said violence must stop following a string of recent deaths across NSW.
“(Erana) was a friend of mine, she was beautiful, she was the first person who we knew when we moved into the area,” she said.
“(She had) beautiful kids and everyone knew her.
“Erana was just a beautiful person. I’m shaken.
“It’s not fair. There’s two babies who are not going to grow up without their mum.”
“The kids, they’re very young, they’re still primary school kids. We were standing out here together (with Erana’s extended family this morning) — they’re not good. Losing someone in that way — nobody is doing well.”
Police have closed the quiet suburban street and remain at the scene collecting evidence.
