A young girl has reportedly been stabbed to death by her older sister in Australia’s Lake Macquarie region.
Emergency services were called around 3.45pm to a home in Boolaroo, New South Wales.
A ten-year-old girl was found at the scene with multiple stab wounds, believed to have been inflicted by her older 17-year-old sister, according to initial reports.
NSW Police said in a statement: ‘NSW Ambulance paramedics treated a 10-year-old girl at the scene for multiple stab wounds; however she died at the scene.’
Officers from Lake Macquarie Police District arrested a 17-year-old girl at the home and took her to Belmont Police Station, where she is currently ‘assisting’ police.
It is thought that the 17-year-old is the older sister of the younger girl who died at the scene.
Police have established a crime scene and continue to investigate.
