A 26-year-old man will appear in court on Thursday charged with murder, sexual assault and other offences after a woman fell to her death from an apartment balcony in Sydney.
The man was arrested after a police manhunt.
Chinese student (Elva) Liao Wei, 18, was one of four Asian students who endured horrendous sexual assaults for up to an hour at the hands of a knife-wielding predator before she and her boyfriend fell from the balcony in inner city Waterloo about 1.40pm (AEDT) on Sunday.
Her boyfriend, Korean Tae Wook "Chris" Han, 19, remains in hospital with serious spinal injuries from which police say he may never recover following the fall from the third floor of the apartment complex in Hunter Street.
About 8.20pm on Wednesday, after an extensive manhunt, police investigators arrested a 26-year-old man in Castlereagh Lane, Redfern and he was charged with murder and 21 other offences, police said.
They included recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, aggravated sexual assault, inflicting bodily harm with intent to have sexual intercourse, assault with act of indecency, aggravated break and enter, robbery armed with offensive weapon, detain persons with intent to sexual gratification and inciting others to commit acts of indecency.
The man was refused bail and will appear at Central Local Court on Thursday.
His arrest came after detectives on Wednesday released CCTV footage of a man wanted over the home invasion and assaults, as a large squad of police worked on the murder investigation.

Today hot issue is this News. I think this situation didn't present to Korean, but it will happen soon. So I just afraid somebody blame them with no reason. And I saw their picture on this news site, but it disappeared. I think someone (might be their family) complained to them.
