Son reveals family's pain after mother-of-three's alleged DV murder - 9News

A mother allegedly murdered at the hands of her partner at Casino in northern NSW has been identified as Sarah Miles.

Her heartbroken son has shared his grief, saying his life would never be the same, as police investigate how long it took officers to arrive.

Authorities say the mother-of-three is the 47th woman to lose her life at the hands of what senior police are describing as a nationwide domestic violence crisis.

Her son Shayden Miles spoke exclusively to 9News, saying the whole family is heartbroken.

"Words cannot describe the pain that I am feeling at the moment," he said.

"My mother was a very strong person, (a) fighter always to the end.

"I'm so proud of her and I'm proud, I'm proud to have her as my mother and I'm proud to have been her son."

Mr Miles questioned the time it took police to arrive at the scene.

"It's not just a loss, it's also dealing with the fact that she was waiting for an hour on the floor and that is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life," he said.

Police are investigating why their response to the call took almost an hour, a probe that will be overseen by the independent Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.

"The NSWPF are investigating the circumstances of the incident and this investigation will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command," the LECC said, in a statement.

"The LECC is independently monitoring the investigation of the critical incident under Part 8 of the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission Act 2016 to ensure public confidence in the investigation."

Ms Miles' partner, Dwayne John Creighton, has been charged with murder.

9News understands police found Sarah with injuries to her head and cheek.

The official cause of death is still being investigated.
