Nat Barr grills NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley over delayed cop response to alleged DV murder of Sarah Miles in Casino [Video]

Nat Barr has grilled the NSW Police Minister over why it took officers an hour to respond to a Triple Zero call where a woman was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend.

Police found mother-of-three Sarah Miles unconscious with head injuries before she died at her Johnston Street home at Casino, in northern NSW, at 2.30am on Saturday.

Her partner, Dwayne John Creighton, 31, has been arrested and charged with her murder.

A neighbour called police about 1.30am after hearing screams, but officers didn’t acknowledge the call until an hour later.

The call was also categorised as priority three, meaning officers didn’t immediately respond, with an investigation launched into why it took so long for police to arrive.

NSW police minister Yasmin Catley appeared on Sunrise on Monday morning and said she wanted to ensure people had the confidence to know that when they call police, they will come.

‘Yeah, but they don’t,’ Barr replied.
