Two men have been charged with serious offences after a young woman's body was found in a flat in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Emergency services were called to the unit on Hardy Street at North Bondi, where police discovered the body of Yolonda Mumbulla, 19, at about 9.20am on Tuesday.
Despite the work of paramedics, she could not be revived.
NSW Police subsequently arrested a 32-year-old man at the location.
Following inquires, officers executed a search warrant at an address in nearby Flood Street in Bondi, around 5.10pm on Tuesday.
'During the search, police seized 1g of Methylamphetamine and cannabis at the scene,' a NSW Police spokesperson said.

A neighbour told Daily Mail Australia the unit complex is notorious for loud disturbances.
‘It's a housing commission block, there is always fights and loud music coming from the units,’ she said
‘I used to live in a housing block so I know what they're like, now I live next door, this specific block has a lot of junkies living there.’
