Husband may have fled with two kids after mum’s body found on Sydney’s north shore

A woman’s body has been found inside a freezer on Sydney’s north shore and police believe her husband has fled to China with her kids.

Forensic Services are at the scene of a possible homicide on Sydney's Upper North Shore.

A woman in her 30s is dead and her husband is believed to have fled Sydney’s Upper North Shore bound for China — and taken the couple’s children with him.

The woman, believed to be a Chinese national in her mid-to-late 30s, was found inside a unit on Bobbin Head Road at Pymble, 20km north of the Sydney CBD.

Officers forced their way into the premises about 10am today after they were contacted by members of the public who were concerned for her welfare.

The official statement from police is light on detail, however a spokesman told news.com.au police believe the woman’s husband is responsible and that he has fled to China.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the woman’s body was found inside a freezer.
