The house where the bodies of a mother and her disabled teenage daughter were discovered was raided by anti-terrorist police a week before they died.
Jennifer Carrig, 53, and her daughter Ella, 13, were found dead in two separate rooms of their home on Menzies Rd in Marsfield, in Sydney’s northwest, last Thursday.
Just eight days before the tragic discovery of their bodies in separate rooms, NSW Police officers attached to the Counter Terrorism and Special Tactics Command executed a search warrant at the same house in an early morning raid on 2 July.
Police arrested Ms Carrig’s 19-year-old son, Christopher, who had been under investigation since he allegedly painted Nazi symbols on the walls of Macquarie University in May. Daily Telegraph reported.
The teenager is also accused of intimidating a man on nearby Herring Rd shortly after the alleged vandalism in an incident that was reportedly uploaded online.
Police charged Christopher with six offences relating to the alleged vandalism and allegedly seized items related to “far-right ideology” during the raid.
He was bailed to appear at Burwood Local Court on August 13 for alleged offences of destruction or damage to property, blackening or disguising face with intent to commit an indictable offence, possession of an instrument for making graffiti, entering prescribed premises without lawful excuse, stalking or intimidating and entering enclosed grounds without lawful excuse.
A 20-year-old woman who was also arrested is due to appear in court next week.

The house where the bodies were found (pictured) was raided by police a week earlier in connection with alleged extremist vandalism.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest Christopher Carrig had any involvement in the deaths of his mother Jennifer or sister Ella.
NSW Police have launched a major investigation into the deaths of Ms Carrig and Ella, which is ongoing.
He initially said the deaths were not being treated as suspicious.
Sources have since emerged indicating that detectives are also investigating whether the deaths may have been the result of a murder-suicide.
It remains unclear how he died as neither Mr Carrig nor his daughter had any obvious injuries.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted New South Wales Police for comment.
The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of tributes to the couple, who had lived in the house for several years.
Mrs Carrig has been remembered as the “best mum” to her family, including her daughter Ella, who was disabled and required full-time care.
“She was the best, so caring and considerate,” said Ms Carrig’s best friend, Samantha Thomas-Barber. Daily Telegraph.
‘A true treasure and warrior… she was the best mother to her family.’
Neighbours on the quiet suburban street were “absolutely shocked”.
Many said that They didn’t hear or see anything out of the ordinary Thursday morning until they saw emergency vehicles on their street.
“I’m devastated,” said one local.
“When we saw all the police we didn’t imagine that was the reason.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
Crisis support is available through Lifeline on 13 11 14 and Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
Mother-of-three Jennifer Carrig (pictured) was described by her friend as the “best mum”.
New South Wales Police initially said the deaths of the mother and daughter were not being treated as suspicious, but are now reportedly investigating a murder-suicide theory.
