Former boyfriend of a Sydney woman found dead in an inner-city unit has been charged with her murder.
Police arrested a 25-year-old man this morning at a home in Narrellan in Sydney's west.
He was subsequently charged with the murder of 18-year-old Jazmin-Jean Ajbschitz.
A family member found Ms Ajbschitz dead in her Harris Street apartment in Ultimo on Wednesday afternoon.
Detective Superintendant Mark Walton says the man and Ms Ajbschitz had previously been in a domestic relationship.
The man will appear in Parramatta Local court tomorrow.
Forensic officers have spent hours going over the crime scene.
Detective Superintendent Walton says police are not sure when the woman died.
Sean Lee King wore a green tracksuit top as he appeared via video link before Magistrate Gail Madgwick, who was sitting at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
The pale-faced man had a vacant expression as his defence lawyer Ivan Bertoia told the court: "For his benefit, I'd indicate there's no application for bail."

King has been charged with murdering his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend Jazmin-Jean Ajbschitz, who was discovered dead inside her Ultimo unit just before 2pm (AEST) on Wednesday.
Police allege she died as a result of the severe physical injuries.
King was arrested at a home in Narellan, in Sydney's southwest, on Friday morning.
Detective Superintendent Mark Walton has said the pair were previously living together in a relationship, but they were living apart when Ms Ajbschitz died.
The court proceedings have been adjourned until August 2, when King is scheduled to appear at Central Local Court.
He is being held in custody at Penrith, in outer western Sydney.
