Missing Shereen Kumar’s body found four minutes from Dural home as boyfriend Carlino is charged
The partner of a missing 43-year-old Sydney mum has been charged with murder after a body believed to be hers was discovered in Sydney.
Shereen Kumar disappeared from her home at Taylor Road in Dural, north-west Sydney, about 9pm on Wednesday and was reported missing to authorities on Thursday morning.
Police located a body while searching through bushland in Dural on Saturday night. While it has not yet been formally identified, it is believed to be the missing woman.
The body was located in bushland off Laurie Road on Saturday at about 5:50pm, following a co-ordinated police search with assistance from PolAir and the Dog Unit.
A 37-year-old man was arrested at a property on Taylor’s Road in Dural on Saturday just after 11:30pm in what police allege was a domestic violence incident.
He was taken to Hornsby police station and formally charged with murder (DV). He was refused bail to appear in Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.
Outside court, his lawyer didn’t make any comments about how his client would plead.
“Clearly these are very serious matters and it’s still very early on in the proceedings,” Elias Tabchouri said.
“And once the matters flesh out further well we’ll take a certain course.”
The Sydney mum, who was also a part-time model, had work appear in several magazines in Australia and overseas.
The pair also ran a dog walking business together.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
