The daughter of former NSW Premier Neville Wran has been questioned in relation to a murder in inner Sydney.
THE daughter of former premier Neville Wran was last night under arrest and being questioned by police in connection with the stabbing murder of a man at a Redfern unit block.
Harriet Wran, the youngest daughter of the former Labor state leader, who died at the age of 87 on April 20, was yesterday confirmed by police as a person of interest in the murder of 48-year-old Daniel McNaulty and the stabbing of another man, Brett Fitzgerald.

The former University of Sydney student, and goddaughter of Kerry Packer, handed herself into Cabramatta Police Station just after 5pm, along with a 30-year-old man, Michael Lee, who was also wanted for questioning. The Daily Telegraph understands the Wran family have briefed prominent barrister Winston Terracini SC to act on Ms Wran's behalf.

The shock twist came just hours after 29-year-old Lloyd Edward Haines yesterday faced Parramatta Local Court for the murder of Mr McNaulty on Sunday night.
Senior police sources confirmed to The Daily Telegraph that Wran, 26, and a 30-year- old man of Asian appearance were wanted in connection with the double stabbing at the Walker St unit block.
In a statement announcing Haines' arrest, police said they were looking for a man and woman also believed to be inside the apartment at the time.

Wran was wearing jeans and a blue shirt at the time of the arrest, and had her brown hair worn up, police say.
Detectives yesterday went to the family home in Woollahra in search of Wran, but neither Harriet or her mother Jill, Mr Wran's wife of more than 30 years, were home, leaving the youngest child Hugo, 23, to try to contact his family.
"I've been informed, that's all, sorry I can't answer any questions," he told The Daily Telegraph last night.

Jill Wran was last night organising to return to Sydney from Brisbane to support her daughter.
Harriet and her younger brother Hugo, the youngest of Mr Wran's four children, read poems during a state memorial service for their father, who died aged 87 after a long struggle with dementia.

The siblings sat side by side in the front row of the Sydney Town Hall for the service for their father, who served as NSW premier from 1976 to 1986. Harriet read a Shakespearean sonnet at the funeral, following speeches from former prime minister Paul Keating and Bob Carr.
Haines, who handed himself into police, did not appear in the dock of Parramatta Local Court and his bail was formally refused on charges of murder, attempted murder and aggravated break and enter.
His case returns to Parramatta Court on October 9.
