On the evening of 3 January 2014, a 39 year old woman was found in bushland at West Hoxton in Sydney's south west. Her skin was peeling from her body. She had suffered horrific burns to over 80 per cent of her face and torso. Doctors would later determine she had been doused in nearly eight litres of hydrochloric acid up to ten days before being discovered. Her name was Monika Chetty. A former nurse. A mother of three. A homeless woman who had been sleeping rough in Sydney's streets for years, estranged from her family and trapped in a world of gambling debts and dangerous associations. Before she died at Concord Hospital 28 days later, she gave police a story about her attack. But detectives believed she was lying to protect someone. Twelve years on, despite a $500,000 reward and an exhaustive coronial inquest, no one has ever been charged. Someone in Sydney knows what happened to Monika Chetty.
