The mother of schoolgirl Charlise Mutten has been charged over a home invasion where two guns were allegedly stolen. 

The nine-year-old girl was allegedly shot dead by her mother Kallista Mutten’s fiancé Justin Stein, 31, in January on his family’s property in the Blue Mountains before he disposed of her body in a barrel.  

Charlise was initially reported as missing before her body was found in bushland near the Colo River on January 18, with police charging Stein with murder a short time later.

Investigators this week charged Mutten over an alleged home invasion at Mount Wilson in August last year. 

Police will allege she accompanied Stein to the home where two guns were allegedly stolen. 

‘A woman’s been charged over her alleged role in a home invasion that was uncovered as part of ongoing investigations into the alleged murder of a girl in the Blue Mountains earlier this year,’ NSW police said in a statement.

‘A 39-year-old woman attended Campbelltown Police Station on Tuesday where she was charged with aggravated break and enter in company.’

Mutten has not been charged over Charlise’s alleged murder and Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting she was in anyway involved in her daughters death.

She was granted conditional bail to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on Monday 8 August 2022. 

During investigations into Charlise’s death, detectives carried out in bushland near Mt Wilson on February 3 where two firearms and ammunition were located.

The items were seized and underwent forensic examination and were determined to have allegedly been stolen from a property five months before the little girl’s death.

A post mortem confirmed Charlise died from a single shot from a small-calibre firearm. 

Police would not say whether the bullet came from one of the two allegedly stolen guns. 

Stein was charged over his alleged role in the home invasion in May. He remains before the courts. 

Mutten is currently receiving treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility, The Daily Telegraph reports. 

The Tweed Heads schoolgirl, who lived with her maternal grandparents in Coolangatta, had been holidaying with her mother and Stein at his family’s luxury Blue Mountains wedding venue and at a Lower Portland caravan Park over the Christmas holiday season.  

Police said Charlise, who was due to spend two weeks in NSW, was alone in the care of Stein on the night she was allegedly murdered.

Her mother was at the caravan park, a 90 minute drive away, from the Stein’s Wildenstein estate.
