Police, responding to reports of an incident involving domestic violence, arrived at the North Parramatta unit on Sunday afternoon.
Breaking into the unit, officers found the woman’s body in a bathroom with hazardous chemicals, causing officers to retreat and call HAZMAT specialists from the fire and rescue service.

A truck was soon found in nearby Greencree and confiscated for forensic examination.
The man was charged with murder, he refused bail and will appear in local Bankstown court on Tuesday.
