Last night in Darwin, a woman tragically died after allegedly being stabbed outside a hotel where I was staying.
The woman came into the hotel to seek help.
Together with staff from the hotel members of my staff provided assistance to the woman, and I comforted members of her family.
I have been informed today that the woman was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital and died a short-time later.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the woman’s family and her loved ones.
I want to thank the hotel staff, the Northern Territory Police and the paramedics who attended.
As this matter is being investigated by the Northern Territory Police it would be inappropriate for me to provide any further comment at this time.
