Two teenagers have been charged with murder after the death of a woman at her Queensland home on Boxing Day.
Emma Lovell, 41, was allegedly stabbed while fighting off two people at her property in North Lakes in Moreton Bay, north of Brisbane, at 11.30pm on Monday.
Two 17-year-old boys, one from Holland Park and the other Zillmere, have both been charged with one count each of murder, attempted murder and enter dwelling with intent in company.
Both have been denied police bail and are due to appear in the Brisbane Childrens Court.
A 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy are assisting police with inquiries.
Paramedics tried to revive the 41-year-old, but she died at the scene.
Her husband, a 43-year-old man, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
He has since been released from hospital.
The couple is originally from the UK.
Neighbours reported hearing screams and have been left rattled by the incident.
“This is just incredible. I’ve never seen so many police cars,” one told 9News.
“This is really incredible. This is scary stuff. This is a little close to home, I think.”
Anyone with information, dashcam or CCTV footage is urged to contact police.
