Elderly Woman Dies After Fatal Stabbing at Bondi
Police said the 47-year-old grandson was charged with domestic-violence murder after the woman died from stab wounds at her home.
- On Saturday, 90-year-old Valentina Spivak was fatally stabbed inside her Chambers Avenue unit in Bondi Beach, with police arresting her 47-year-old grandson, Sergei Mitnik, at the scene.
- Investigators charged Mitnik with domestic violence-related murder following the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command response, though Detective Superintendent Jodi Radmore noted no known prior domestic violence history existed between them.
- Neighbours described Spivak as a "nice, quiet woman" who enjoyed Russian opera; the grandmother, dedicated to her Jewish faith, was allegedly stabbed 19 times inside the property.
- Facing Bail Division Local Court on Sunday, Mitnik was refused bail after his lawyer raised mental health concerns, claiming the weight-loss drug Ozempic had "had an effect on him."
- Detectives continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, with Detective Superintendent Radmore describing the killing as devastating for the community and urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
