81-year-old Aaron Govendir arrested, charged with 1998 murder of wife Denise Govendir in Sydney due to new evidence.
81-year-old Aaron Govendir, husband of charity worker Denise Govendir, has been arrested and charged with her 1998 murder in Sydney. New medical and forensic evidence led to a strong circumstantial case against Govendir, who initially claimed a home invasion had occurred with an unknown man posing as a police officer. The case was reopened, and the couple's divorce proceedings were revealed. A coronial inquest between 2005 and 2008 confirmed Denise Govendir died from injuries intentionally inflicted by a person or multiple people, leading to a $1 million reward for information on her murder. The case was solved using the original brief of evidence.
