3. Man arrested over the murder of Stephanie Scott
A 24-year-old man has been arrested and is expected to be charged with murder of 26-year-old Stephanie Scott.
The teacher from Leeton was last seen at her workplace at Leeton High School on Myrtle Street about 11:00am on Sunday.
Her mother said yesterday the disappearance of her daughter was heartbreaking.
“It is the worst thing I have ever been through. You can’t eat and you can’t sleep,” Merrilyn Scott said.
Police say that last night officers attended a home on Maiden Avenue, Leeton, where they spoke to two residents at the home. Around 7.30pm, another resident of the home – a 24-year-old man – arrived at the property.
The man was subsequently arrested and taken to Leeton Police Station where he continues to assist police with their inquiries. He is expected to be charged with Ms Scott’s murder and will appear before Griffith Local Court later today.
Police have said it is not Ms Scott’s fiancé who has been arrested.
