Reports say the two accused entered the Lovell’s dwelling at around 11.30pm on Boxing Day. Lovell, with her husband Lee tried to defend their home. Exact details of the confrontation have not yet been made public, but at some stage the parties have ended up in the front yard where Mrs. Lovell was killed, while Lee suffered a non-life-threatening wound. The teenagers fled the scene and were caught a short time later by police, together with two other teenagers. All four were known to police.
The Daily Mail UK reported the Lovell’s moved to Australia 11 years ago and have two daughters.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the Lovell family during this difficult time.

Bring back public hangings best way to get rid of these scum.
The gangs are using the underaged wannabees to commit their crimes for them.
Quite frankly, this is why Western Societies need to arm their citizens for self-defence as granted by the UN Charter Right to Self-Defence, Chapter 7 Article 51.
Interesting how these tyrannical, dictatorial WEF Governments are signed on to this, but illegally prohibit the use of firearms for self defence by their ‘citizens’ and ‘nationals’…
Just ask the dairy owners…
And ‘fog-cannons’ that block-out CCTV footage in identifying perps? How bloody stupid!
The ram raids are continuing in ‘Holiday Fashion’…despite bollards being in place!
I find the husbands behaviour a little amiss on film being interviewed. The wording in the report is unusual. Look at the overuse of “alleged’ and ‘allegedly’ in other reports. The boys are not being charged with breaking and entering, only entering with intent. The husband had a small wound on his upper arm, she was stabbed to death. I love true crime, so call me suspicious on this one.
