A Sydney taekwondo instructor has been arrested over the alleged murders of a family of three.
The body of a woman and boy were found at a martial arts academy in Western Sydney on Tuesday, the same day a man’s body was found in the city’s north-west.
A 49-year-old man is under police guard at Westmead Hospital.
