A man has been charged with the murder of young mum Molly Ticehurst after her body was found at a home in the early hours of Monday morning. 

Police discovered the body of the 28-year-old teacher’s assistant at a property on Young St, in Forbes, NSW, about 2:00am.

Officers and emergency services attended the home over concerns about Ms Ticehurst’s welfare and found her body.

A man was arrested at a property in Fifield a little under 100km north-west of Forbes and has been taken to Parkes Police Station, where he is assisting police with inquiries. 

On Monday afternoon the man, 29, was charged with murder. 

In a poignant post shared on social media, the mother-of-one referred to her son, 5, as her ‘whole world’. 

The tragedy comes after Ms Ticehurst shared a chilling revelation about returning to her hometown several years ago.

‘I just moved into a new house which is haunted by a little boy,’ she wrote online. 

The exact circumstances of Ms Ticehurst’s death are yet to be established. A spokesperson for her employer declined to comment. 

It comes after at least 24 women have been killed by men in Australia so far in 2024.

Hannah McGuire, 23, from Clunes, Victoria, was found dead near Ballarat on April 5. She was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend Lachlan Young, 21.

Meanwhile, Patrick Stephenson, 22, was charged last month with the murder of missing mother Samantha Murphy. Mr Stephenson is before the courts.
