A MAN, 82, was to face court in Sydney on Saturday after he was charged with the alleged murder of a woman whose body was found “severely emaciated”, police say.

The 60-year-old woman’s body was discovered by paramedics on Friday.

After receiving a report about a medical episode, paramedics were called to a home on Pandora St at Greenacre in Sydney’s southwest soon before 11am.
