https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/sweet-friendly-couple-in-hospital-aft...A “sweet” and “friendly” elderly couple are in hospital after what police say was a domestic stabbing attack in Sydney’s Inner West last night.
Laszlo Molnar, 70, and his wife Ilona, 65, are both in critical conditions at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital after suffering multiple stab wounds.
Emergency services were called to the home on Etonville Parade, Croydon, about 8.40pm on Thursday to find the man with stab wounds to his head.
It is believed Mr Molnar was attacked with a gardening pick axe, and his wife was found with wounds believed to be self inflicted.After searching the home, police found Ilona in the backyard with stab wounds to her upper body.
The couple’s 31-year-old daughter called triple-0 when she arrived home from work yesterday to find her father injured upstairs. The two are both in induced comas.
Police described the bloody scene as traumatic for the police officers who found the couple. “It is believed the occupants of the premises became involved in an incident resulting in severe traumatic injuries to a male person and also a female person,” Burwood Police Crime Manager Detective Inspector Ian Pryde said. “We believe this is a domestic violence incident,” he said.
Police have been unable to speak to the couple in hospital and forensics will form a large part of the investigation.
According to property records Mr and Mrs Molnar bought the home in 1995.
The house has not been sold or rented out since then.
Neighbours on the quiet tree-lined street were reeling after discovering that police believe the elderly couple were involved in a domestic violence attack.
