The 52-year-old woman was rushed to Royal Hobart Hospital but could not be saved.
A man has been charged with murder after he allegedly attacked a woman with a knife in front of two teenagers in a suspected family violence incident in Hobart on Christmas Day.
Tasmania Police Detective Acting Inspector Leah Adams said two teenagers related to the woman had witnessed the incident and while unharmed, they were distressed. “So, all we can do at this time is provide support for them and establish what they did actually see.” Police charged a 60-year-old man with murder and he will appear in court on Sunday. Police said the man was known to the woman, however they would not confirm whether the pair were in a relationship, saying investigations into the matter were still ongoing.
