Murder charge laid over woman's death outside Sydney unit block

A woman has been charged with the murder of a young Sydney woman, who plunged to her death from an inner city unit block.

The 23-year-old was discovered with critical injuries on a footpath at the back of the 11-storey complex on Rose Valley Way in Zetland about 8.45pm on Monday.

Emergency services were called but she could not be revived.

Police appealed for help to find 29-year-old Zixi Wang, also known as Jessie, who was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant in relation to the domestic-related incident.

She was arrested on Tuesday afternoon near the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge, north of Wollongong, after a member of the public spotted the wanted white Mercedes.

The car was seized for forensic testing, while she was taken to Wollongong Police Station for questioning.

She has since been charged with murder and taking and driving a conveyance without the consent of the owner.

She was refused bail to appear in Wollongong Local Court on Wednesday.
