Young woman stabbed at Sydney apartment identified

A woman who was found stabbed to death at an apartment complex in Sydney’s inner west has been identified, amid a fresh appeal from police for information.

A resident found the body of the man, 21, in the courtyard of the Burwood Grand complex on Conder St just after 8.45am on Monday, August 12.

Xiaoting Wang, 21, was later found dead of stab wounds inside a unit in the building.

Inquiries suggest the pair were known to each other, police said.

They are both believed to have been international students from China who were studying at the University of Sydney.

The man had sustained injuries to his ankles, Superintendent Christine McDonald said last Monday.

“Him jumping from that location is a possibility and is a line of inquiry,” she said.

A weapon has since been located by police.

McDonald could not confirm whether the matter was a domestic violence-related incident.

“Violence against any person is not, and will not be, tolerated,” she said.

McDonald said, in a fresh appeal on Wednesday, the incident had greatly affected the Burwood community.

“There are many people in the Burwood and wider Sydney community who have been affected by the death of Xiaoting.

“She, like many international students, came to this country for education and opportunity, and for her life to end like this is tragic.” McDonald said.

“I urge anyone affected by the deaths to attend a vigil, which is being held later this month, to support each other through this time.”

The vigil will be held at the Burwood Pavilion Centre at 5pm on Tuesday August 27.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
