The man charged with the alleged murder of mother-of-two Dayna Isaac has appeared in court for the first time with his solicitor urging members of the public to “keep an open mind”.
Dayna Isaac, 28, was allegedly left bloodied and suffering a serious head injury on the floor of her Penrith home after allegedly being murdered by her drunk boyfriend Paul Jason Sultana, 32, on Monday afternoon.
Sultana, who is from Cranebrook, did not apply for bail on Wednesday at Penrith Local Court after spending the night in custody.
He chose not to appear via video link, with his solicitor Mr Parham Mohammadian asking for his client to be excused.
In addressing the media outside the court, Mr Mohammadian urged members of the public to “keep an open mind.”
“We just want to urge everyone to keep an open mind before the actual facts come out, ” he said, before declining to comment further.
