The husband of a Queensland mum who was fatally stabbed in the chest during a violent home invasion has shared how his family are struggling to come to terms with the “massive hole” in their lives.
A mum who was fatally stabbed in the chest during a violent home invasion was trying to fend off two teens who had broken into her home while the family slept.
One teenager – now aged 18 – pleaded guilty to charges of murder and burglary by break-in while armed and in company in March this year.The teenager, who cannot be identified due to laws in Queensland preventing the identification of child defendants, fronted Brisbane Supreme Court on Friday when submissions were made on behalf of the Crown and the 18-year-old’s defence.
Crown prosecutor David Nardone said Ms Lovell was also stabbed in the chest once, piercing her heart with the 11cm blade that broke away from its handle before the teens fled the scene. Mr Nardone argued the teenager – who was 17 years and eight months old at the time of the murder – should be given a life sentence compared with the maximum 10-year sentence imposed under the Youth Justice Act.
“ checked the status of the Lovells’ home, he does so stealthy and he’s somewhat gleeful at the success of finding an unlocked door,” Mr Nardone said.
