A woman who was stabbed to death outside her unit in Sydney’s north west on Monday is being remembered as a good mother who had a good heart.
Daiane Pelegrini, 33, was with a man she had recently begun dating when she was allegedly confronted by an intruder inside her home about 4.50pm yesterday.
Paramedics treated her the scene in Ingleby St, Oatlands before she was taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition, however she later died.
Police arrested David Tran, 25, who was known to Ms Pelegrini, at the scene.
He was taken to Granville Police Station where he is assisting with inquiries. The ABC reports Tran underwent a mental health assessment and a COVID-19 test before being taken to the station.
Ms Pelegrini reportedly had an eight-year-old daughter but the child was with her husband Marcelo Antunes de Ataide, who she had separated from a few weeks ago.
Ms Pelegrini moved to Australia from Brazil with her husband at the end of 2016 and she was studying nursing part-time. She also worked as a carer for people with Alzheimer’s.
Mr Antunes de Ataide, who described his wife as having a “good heart”, said she had previously complained about a man who kept showing up at her unit.
“Please if anyone suspects a woman is in trouble, please call police, please ask for help,” he told ABC.
Mr Antunes de Ataide said the family were devastated about what had happened.
“She was a really good mother … she was the best mum and would do anything for her daughter,” he said.
