''Police investigating the death of a Canadian woman in Sydney's west have released CCTV of what they allege is a phone being thrown from her unit moments after a call to triple-0 ended abruptly.

Key points:​

• Tatiana Dokhotaru called triple-0, saying someone was assaulting her
• Police found her body inside her Liverpool unit
• Police believe the phone could be a "key part of the puzzle"

NSW Police on Tuesday released the footage as they continue to investigate the death of 34-year-old Tatiana Dokhotaru.

Ms Dokhotaru made a frantic call to police late at night on May 26, telling them she was being assaulted by someone who was demanding money.

She did not manage to give the triple-0 operator an exact address before the phone went dead.''


''Detectives last week flew to Canada to meet with Ms Dokhotaru's family to gather further information about her life and associates in Australia.

Detectives are also continuing to canvass the Liverpool area for CCTV and witnesses who may be able to assist with identifying Ms Dokhotaru's last movements.

State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and Liverpool City Police Area Command established Strike Force Median to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Liverpool Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.''

''Tatiana Dokhotaru wanted to travel the world.
Her final stop was a high-rise apartment in Sydney, Australia, where she was found murdered on May 26.''

So far, the phone has not been found. And while Dokhotaru’s allegedly violent ex-boyfriend, Danny Zayat, 28, has been arrested for a slew of domestic abuse charges and is a suspect in her death, he has not been charged with murder.''

Det. Supt. Danny Doherty said cops were looking for the iPhone 14 that belonged to Dokhotaru.

“It’s really important … we believe there will be evidence on that phone that would be vital to the investigation,” he said. “We have not been able to track the phone. It could be damaged as it’s come from 22 flights up.”

A Sydney court heard on Friday, June 2, he was still a suspect in the homicide investigation. The court was also told he plans to plead not guilty to all the charges.

''Police will allege in court that Zayat fatally assaulted Dokhotaru shortly after that phone call to police. Officers responded to the call but were unable to find the unit a few hours later.
“What makes it even more tragic and aggravating in the circumstances was [a four-year-old boy] was present at the time and remained in the unit for the entire time,” Doherty said.

'Zayat’s case will return to court in late September, where the murder charge will be heard alongside charges of domestic violence he allegedly carried out against Dokhotaru before her death'

''Jun 5, 2023 HOLLAND PARK
Family and friends of Tatiana Dokhotaru are holding a vigil in her home country of Canada more than a week after she was found dead in her apartment in Liverpool. The memorial follows a similar event held overnight at Bondi, where friends paid tribute to the 34-year-old. Tatiana made a frantic triple zero call 10 days ago, but didn't give her name or unit number. 20 hours later police found her body. “It doesn’t make any sense that she died, it’s possible that she could be with us today“, Tatiana Dokhotaru’s father Denis Thievin speaking to 7NEWS’ David Woiwood.''
