Her ex-husband Dinush Kurera, 45, is accused of being the knifeman and was arrested shortly after before being charged with one count of murder on Sunday afternoon.

‘I don’t know where, she’s dead,’ the girl says.
‘I’m pretty sure she’s dead.
It is understood the couple who have three children together, separated about one year ago after 20 years of marriage.
Their son, 14, was also hurt in the alleged incident, suffering a stab wound to the neck.
He underwent emergency surgery and is now in a serious but stable condition.
Mr Kurera did not apply for bail and his next court hearing will be in April.
