An inquest into the death of Nadia Louise Cameron is set down for Tuesday, March 28 in the Bathurst Coroner’s Court before Coroner Michael Allen. An inquest into the death of Elie Issa is set down for the same day.
Ms Cameron was a high profile real estate saleswoman when she was found dead in a presumed murder-suicide in July 2015.
Emergency services were called to the home of her former partner, Elie Issa, in Rosemont Avenue, Kelso just after 11.15am on July 17.
Mr Issa and Ms Cameron had been a couple for more then four years but Ms Cameron had ended the relationship just six weeks before her death.
Her father, Kevin Pleming, had recently died in a car crash and friends of Ms Cameron said she was thinking deeply about her future. She decided to leave Mr Issa two weeks after her father’s funeral.
Police arrived at the Rosemont Avenue home after receiving a Triple-0 call. Officers entered the house where they found the pair dead in the living room.
Police established a crime scene while shocked family members and friends of the couple stood in the driveway of the home. A bullet hole could be seen in one of the home’s windows.
Police confirmed a firearm, registered and owned by Mr Issa, was found next to the pair inside the home.
A post mortem examination revealed Ms Cameron had been shot twice and Mr Issa once.
Strike Force Eiraben was established to investigate the deaths with police speaking to family and friends of the couple to try and determine the reasons behind the apparent murder-suicide.
Ms Cameron’s step-sister Debbie Majella-Nolan, who is based on the Gold Coast and will not be able to attend the inquest, said that more than 18 months on from the tragedy she had come to terms with the loss of both her step-sister and friend.
Ms Majella-Nolan said she has held two memorial lunch days for Ms Cameron and more recently addressed an International Women’s Day event called Be Bold, where she spoke with women who had come out of violent relationships.
She said Ms Cameron's presumed murder and Mr Issa’s alleged suicide had been difficult for both the Cameron and Issa families.
“I think it was shocking for his family," she said.
"Everyone was hurt and angry, not just us.”
