A five-year-old Sydney boy is dead after being stabbed with "horrendous violence" during a dispute at his home in a crime police say is as bad as it gets.
His distraught grandmother, aged in her 60s, tried to take the child to safety before realising the extent of his injuries and calling police and emergency services to the home in Carlingford around 7am on Friday.
Paramedics performed CPR and the boy was rushed by police escort to Westmead's Children's Hospital in a critical condition but died about an hour later.
