A 45-year-old man who allegedly killed a three-year-old boy in a unit at Riverwood in Sydney’s south on Wednesday has been identified as Nathan Vikatos, according to The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH).
NSW Police found the child’s body about 4pm on Wednesday after responding to a “concern for welfare” call.
Vikatos was seriously injured with what police suspect were self-inflicted knife wounds in the unit on Washington Avenue.

According to the SMH, police had been called to find Vikatos earlier on Wednesday over alleged domestic violence.
