HISTORY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE REVEALED AFTER EMU PLAINS MURDER
SON STANDS ACCUSED treated him at the scene but he could not be revived. The deceased’s 30-year-old son, Evan Davis Clark, was arrested at the address and taken to Penrith Police Station, where he was charged with ‘murder (domestic violence)’. Clark faced a bail court last Friday but did not make an application for his release. Detective Acting Superintendent Michael Cantrell said a number of witnesses had
been spoken to regarding the incident, but would not confirm if anybody else was home when it occurred. Both Clark and his father were known to police for previous domestic violence incidents, albeit not for a number of years, Cantrell said. “The Easter long weekend is supposed to be a time for families to come together and for someone’s family to start off a long weekend
in such tragic circumstances is very tough,” he said. A number of police and ambulance vehicles were pictured crowding the otherwise quiet, residential street after the incident last Thursday. A crime scene was established and detectives have formed Strike Force Hawklar as part of their investigation. – With AAP
