Homicide Squad detectives have released footage as they continue to investigate the death of a woman at Liverpool earlier this year.
About 8pm on Saturday 27 May 2023, officers attached to Liverpool City Police Area Command were called to a unit on Norfolk Street, Liverpool, where they located the body of a 34-year-old woman inside. She has since been formally identified as Tatiana Dokhotaru.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and Liverpool City Police Area Command established Strike Force Median to investigate the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.
No one has been charged in relation to Ms Dokhotaru’s death.
As part of ongoing inquiries, strike force detectives flew to Canada last week, where they met with Tatiana’s family. Investigators are working closely with the Dokhotaru family to gather further information about her life and associates in Australia.
Investigators have also issued CCTV footage of a phone being thrown out of a window which matches the location of Ms Dokhotaru’s unit shortly before midnight on Friday 26 May 2023. The phone has never been recovered, with investigators urging anyone who may have located a phone in the vicinity of Norfolk and Bathurst Streets at the time to come forward.
Detectives are also continuing to canvass the Liverpool area for CCTV and witnesses who may be able to assist with identifying Tatiana’s last movements.
Anyone who could assist Strike Force Median investigators is urged to contact Liverpool Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
A separate critical incident investigation is continuing into all other circumstances surrounding the incident. This is being conducted by Fairfield City Police Area Command and will be subject to independent review.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
