An 82-year-old man has been charged with murder after the body of a woman was found in a home in Sydney’s south-west.

NSW Ambulance paramedics were called to a home on Pandora Street, Greenacre just before 11am yesterday after reports of a medical episode.

Paramedics called police after they found the body of 60-year-old Sharyn Simonds, allegedly severely emaciated.

Fady Adhamy was arrested at the home.

He is alleged to have been the woman’s sole carer.

He was taken to Bankstown Police Station and charged with murder.

The man did not apply for bail.
