Police immediately commenced inquiries to locate the man, including a public appeal for information, NSW Police said in a statement released on Saturday morning.
During these inquiries, police deemed the man’s disappearance suspicious, and detectives attached to State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad established Strike Force Tannerie to investigate the incident.
Following extensive investigations, strike force detectives arrested the man’s wife, a 53-year-old woman, at a hospital in Bankstown on Thursday.
She was taken to Bankstown police station on Friday, where she was charged with murder (domestic violence).
With assistance from specialist officers, strike force detectives executed a crime scene warrant at a home on Juno Parade.
The woman was refused bail to appear before Bankstown Local Court on Friday, where she was further refused bail to appear before Burwood Local Court on Wednesday.
Detectives will allege in court the woman killed her husband before cutting up his body to hide the remains. Their investigations continue, NSW Police said.
