Police are negotiating with a man in Sydney’s north shore after the body of a woman in her mid-20s was discovered in the same area.
According to The Daily Telegraph, a pedestrian found the body in an alley near Chatswood train station on Monday morning at about 6.30am. It is believed the woman fell from a building and that her injuries are consistent with falling from a height.
