A man in Sydney, Australia, has been arrested and charged with multiple murders after allegedly killing three members of his family at their home in Rosemeadow, a suburb of Sydney. The incident occurred early on Sunday, May 3, 2026, and has left the local community in shock.
Incident Details
At around 1:30 a.m. local time, emergency services were called to a residence on reports of a violent attack on multiple family members. Upon arrival, New South Wales (NSW) Police discovered the bodies of a 65-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man. A 64-year-old man and a 30-year-old man were found injured. The 64-year-old man was rushed to the hospital with serious head injuries but later died from his wounds.
The victims were identified as Zhou Chao Feng (65), Ruvena Lam (65), and their son Justin Feng (25). The 30-year-old man, who survived the attack, reportedly made a desperate call to emergency services during the assault.
Arrest of the Suspect
Around 2:30 a.m., police intercepted a silver sedan at the scene and arrested the 32-year-old male driver. The suspect was identified as Jacky Feng, the son of the deceased woman and man, and the brother of the injured and deceased victims.
Jacky Feng has been charged with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Authorities confirmed that Feng was not known to police for any prior domestic violence incidents, and the family was not previously involved in any known criminal activity.
Investigation and Details of the Attack
Campbelltown City Police Area Command Superintendent Grant Healey described the scene as “grisly,” with officers initially encountering the 65-year-old woman, who was found alive and given first aid. Police then discovered the 64-year-old man inside the home, who was still alive but had sustained serious blunt force head injuries. Lastly, they found Justin Feng, 25, deceased in a granny flat at the rear of the property.
Investigators believe multiple weapons, including a possible bladed weapon, were used during the attack. The Campbelltown City Police Area Command (CCPAC) is working with the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad to investigate the incident.
Family and Community Impact
Superintendent Healey commented that the family was not previously known to authorities for any violence-related incidents. “It was a very tragic incident, but there was no way for us to predict this,” Healey said.
Court Appearance and Legal Proceedings
Jacky Feng was refused bail and is due to appear in court on Monday, May 4, 2026. Investigators are continuing their work on the case, and further details may emerge as the legal process unfolds.
