A body modifier accused of using a branding iron to burn off part of a woman's vagina has been arrested and charged over the death of another female customer.
Brendan Russell, 37, was taken into custody on Monday after Samantha Strickland, 30, was found dead by her seven-year-old daughter at their NSW Central Coast home in April last year.
A post mortem found she died of septicaemia, caused by an infection to her right hand.
Ms Strickland had undergone body modification surgery and had a 'plastic snowflake' implanted in her hand three weeks prior to her death, police allege.
Russell was taken to Gosford Police Station where he has been charged with manslaughter and grievously bodily harm.
The second charge is related to complaints made by a second woman, 38, who underwent a stomach procedure in November 2016.
He is already facing a charge of prohibition of female genital mutilation.
