A 33-year-old man accused of murdering his estranged wife with a pair of scissors has been refused bail, with police telling a Sydney court he has admitted to the crime.
Leila Alavi had allegedly arrived to work at an Auburn hairdresser when her estranged husband Mokhtar Hosseiniamraei contacted her and asked her to meet him in the Auburn Shopping Village's car park.
When she failed to return to Benjamin Hair Studio, a colleague went to see if she was still talking to her husband downstairs, instead finding the promising young apprentice dead in her Holden Astra.

Police allege Mr Hosseiniamraei murdered Ms Alavi between 9.30am and 9.55am on Saturday morning, with a pair of scissors.
In arguing that bail should be refused, police said Hosseiniamraei "has made admission to the offence" and forensic evidence was expected to link him to the crime scene.
Court documents also reveal Ms Alavi had previously taken out an apprehended violence order, and Hosseiniamraei is now charged with breaching those orders.
Police told the court Hosseiniamraei had a "propensity for anger", which he is unable to control.
It is also alleged that he has physically assaulted his wife in the past, but the incidents were not referred to police.
Hosseiniamraei has been living with his sister in Guildford West.
