Man Charged with Murder over Girlfriend's Hunter Valley Death
A 30-year-old man was charged after a year-long domestic relationship ended in the woman's death, with no prior reports of violence made to police.
- On August 18, officers from the Hunter-Port Stephens Police District arrested 31-year-old Jethro Gamueda at a Rutherford home on Unicomb Close after discovering a 20-year-old woman unresponsive with serious facial injuries.
- Investigators noted no prior domestic violence reports had been made to police, and the couple had been in a relationship for just over 12 months, police said.
- Residents of Unicomb Close described their shock and sadness, with Mel Baker saying she was 'devastating' that a young woman lost her life and adding, 'I can't believe it.'
- On Tuesday, Gamueda did not appear in Bail Division Local Court 2, and Mohamed Bejjaoui made no bail application, leading Magistrate Elizabeth Bushby to refuse his release.
- Port Stephens-Hunter Police District Commander Superintendent Wayne Humphrey called the death tragic and said domestic violence is `a scourge` across the entire state.
