NSW: Two charged over elderly Hunter woman's death
SYDNEY, April 8 AAP - Two people have been charged with murder in connection with the
death of an elderly woman at her NSW Hunter home.
Hiliary (HILIARY) Allen, 82, was found dead by her son in the garage of her townhouse
in Boonal Street at Singleton on March 2.
Police treated her death as suspicious and said it could have been the result of a
break-and-enter gone wrong.
About 3pm (AEST) on Wednesday, a 25-year-old man and a woman, 22, were arrested at
a library at Oberon in the state's central west, before being taken to Orange police station
for questioning.
Both have now been charged with murder and five counts of break and enter.
The pair, from Oberon, have been refused bail to appear at Bathurst Local Court on Wednesday.
An autopsy reportedly confirmed Ms Allen died from blood loss from a deep L-shaped
wound just above her right ankle.
