Teenager Charged with Murder Over Alleged Stabbing Attack on Mum, Sister The alleged stabbing attack on a mother and her 12 year old daughter by the children's 16 year old brother in Perth's south east has sent shockwaves through the community.
This incident is more than just a one off crime; it is a symptom of deeper problems within the justice system and child protection services.
The teenager was known to police, having been before the courts multiple times. His family had also reached out for support from child protection services, but their efforts seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
