A man is under arrest in hospital awaiting charges for the alleged murder of three people, including a child, found at two crime scenes.
The bodies of a seven-year-old child and a 41-year-old woman were found in a taekwondo studio in Sydney’s North Parramatta on Tuesday afternoon.
A 39-year-old man’s body was earlier found with stab wounds at nearby Baulkham Hills after a concern for welfare report.

Police will allege he killed the three people, Homicide Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said on Wednesday, stabbing the man after earlier assaulting the woman and the child with “murderous intent”.
“From the information we’ve received to date, we believe there’s enough evidence to place them under arrest and have charges pending for murder,” he said.
Doherty sought further help from the public and encouraged anyone in the vicinity of the taekwondo studio on Monday night who may have seen or heard something to contact investigators.
