He was charged with murder and denied bail to appear in Hornsby local court on Friday.
It is clear that the 38-year-old is the son of the deceased and that the incident took place in the family home while the deceased’s wife was at work.
Local resident George Jankowski said the murdered man was “a pretty quiet guy who kept his cool.”

“It was a shock, it was unexpected, especially here, it’s a quiet place,” he told the newspaper Daily telegram.
“Just hearing a truck go down the street is a big drama, so when something like that happens it’s a big shock,” he said.
