The shattered husband of a woman fatally stabbed in a Boxing Day home invasion has expressed disbelief after a youth was acquitted of murder, calling it a “joke”. Mother-of-two Emma Lovell, 41, was stabbed to death on the lawn outside her North Lakes home, north of Brisbane , in December 2022. The attack occurred during a home invasion carried out by two 17-year-old boys. One of the youths, now aged 18, pleaded not guilty to murder at a judge-only trial in the Brisbane Supreme Court.
The defendant who faced trial did not directly take part in the violence but was accused of murder based on claims he knew his burglary co-offender was armed with a knife. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has vowed to introduce tough laws for juvenile offenders by Christmas after leading the LNP to victory in the state election with an “adult crime, adult time” campaign. Harsher juvenile sentencing laws were needed, Mr Lovell said.
