Shane Tucker has not been charged over the death of his partner, who was found dead with head injuries in his Maroubra unit.
The man who led police to the body of his partner in his eastern suburbs apartment had just been released on parole after savagely beating her in the same room earlier this year.
Christine Dawson was found dead in a Maroubra apartment on Monday; police investigating the scene.The 50-year-old called emergency services and police arrested him at the scene for breaching an AVO involving another woman, known by the initials HM for legal reasons, after he had contacted her that day.
Vision from the scene on Monday showed specialist forensics investigators combing through rubbish bins at the unit block.Waverley Local court in June heard Dawson and Tucker had been in a relationship for years and had no children or AVOs.But Dawson’s sister had confronted Tucker at his Astoria Circuit apartment and told him to get out of Dawson’s life.Tucker was furious and punched out a window before turning on Dawson, hitting and kicking her in the head repeatedly, the court heard.
That order prohibited Tucker from assaulting, threatening or stalking Dawson, as well as stopping him from contacting her while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. Dawson’s problems with alcohol and drugs were such that the magistrate deemed his “special circumstances”.The case is likely to reignite debate about protections for domestic violence victims.
