Ahmad Hodroj declares himself guilty of manslaughter of the estranged wife Amira Moughnieh in Bexley
Amira Moughnieh seemed happy in a call to a friend before his death.
At 5.21 pm, he phoned his lawyer. The couple spoke in Arabic and the call lasted 58 seconds.
“I’m sorry to call you right now … he wants to come home,” said Moughnieh. “Is there something illegal if I do it?”
The lawyer replied: “There is no avo (order of violence arrested), there is nothing that prevents you from talking to him. Do you feel sure you do it?”
“Yes, this is not a problem,” said Moughnieh. The court documents claim that it did not seem stressed or worried.
Moughnieh then entered Hodroj’s house, leaving the handbag in the car.
The details of what happened exactly afterwards remain unclear, but while together inside the house, Hodroj “has inflicted a certain degree of violence” to Moughnieh, causing his death with an illegal and dangerous act, the state of the facts.
At 5.45 pm, Hodroj called his brother -in -law next to it, repeating: “Come, I need you.”
Hodoj was found standing inside the front door with the blood under his eyes and coming from his nose. He knelt and covered his head with his hands.
“I don’t know what happened. Amira is inside,” Hodroj said. “I was talking to her and she started screaming. I don’t know what happened.”
The brother -in -law Corse and found Moughnieh in the kitchen. He called Triple Zero, saying to the operator who thought that the couple had fought and “she is lying on the ground, and she is almost dead. I think she died.”

Hodroj’s sister entered the house and shouted at the sight of her husband who performed the RCP on Moughnieh.
By 18.03, emergency services had arrived. Hodoj was in a fetal position, “breathing heavily and keeping the fabrics in his eyes”, say the facts. He had scratches on the face that still bleed.
Although the resuscitation attempts, Moughnieh was formally declared deceased and Hodroj was arrested.
Hodroj was initially accused of murder, but the public ministries withdrew the most serious charge on Tuesday after his reason for culpritness of manslaughter.
During the disappearance of the Hodroj’s Supreme Court of last year, questions were raised on the exact cause of death of Moughnieh.
The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy on Moughnieh proposed that his cause of death was recorded as “non -ascent” but opted “there were suggestive characteristics of external pressure on the neck” and injury to the blunt force, according to the documents of the court at that moment.
These documents, prepared by the ministries, said that the police had found handwritten notes and diary voices during a search from the Bankstown house of Moughnieh after being killed.
“I am a free, independent, strong woman,” reads, according to a translation. “A woman who works to realize her dreams and goals.”
She had “become strong for herself” after being “submissive” and “trapped”.
Speaking of Hodroj, presumably wrote in June 2023: “I don’t mean anything for him if I live or die”.
The magistrate Daniel Covington engaged Hodroj at the District Court of the New South Wales for the sentence, with the case to be mentioned on May 1st.
The manslaughter involves a maximum penalty in the new 25 -year -old Southern Wales behind bars. Hodroj remains in custody.
