The estranged partner of a woman who was found dead inside her Sydney unit has been charged with her murder.
Tatiana Dokhotaru, 34, was found dead in her apartment on Norfolk St in Liverpool about 8pm on May 27 this year.
On Monday morning, police arrested her former partner Danny Zayat, 28, at his St Clair unit about 6am on Monday.
He has since been charged with her murder.
He was refused bail to appear at Penrith Local Court on Monday.
Chilling phone call night before body found
Police have revealed that a triple-0 call was made from Ms Dokhotaru’s phone the night before she was found dead inside her apartment.
Last week, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty told reporters that police were on the hunt for her mobile phone in the hope it might possess fresh clues as to what happened in her final hours.
“Just before midnight there was a call to triple zero and it ended abruptly,” he said.
Police allege the phone was thrown from the 22nd floor apartment moments later.
Strike Force Median investigators have released CCTV footage of the apartment block the night before Ms Dokhotaru’s body was found.
Police allege the footage shows an iPhone 14 belonging to Ms Dokhortaru being thrown out of a window that matches the location of her apartment shortly before midnight.
The phone has never been recovered.
