Son of Aerobics Oz Style star charged with murdering teenage boy in Perth
The son of a former television star has been charged with murdering a 17-year-old boy who was allegedly stabbed in the chest.
A 17-year-old boy who was stabbed in the chest during an alleged fake drug deal gone wrong has died in hospital.
Police allege the boy was stabbed on Bourke St in North Perth about 9.30pm on August 27 and died on Friday.
An 18-year-old man who was previously charged with causing grievous bodily harm has now been charged with murder.
The accused young man is Jaden Martinovich, whose mother is former Aerobics Oz Style star Kelly Martinovich.
There is no suggestion Ms Martinovich is in any way connected to the alleged crime.
She is now the owner and director of Shredded Health and Performance gym.
An online biography says Ms Martinovich has more than 27 years’ experience working with the “best in the industry”.
“She was noted by Charles Poliquin, one of Australia’s best trainers,” the biography on her website reads.
“Her expertise has covered all roles from personal training to management of some of the world’s leading health club chains.
“Kelly has also worked as an international presenter and former co-host for Aerobics Oz Style, and for numerous fitness videos, as well as an exercise consultant for Good Morning Australia.”
More than 6000 episodes of Aerobics Oz Style aired on Channel 10 for 23 years until 2005.
Mr Martinovich, from the suburb of Karrinyup, is scheduled to face Perth Magistrates Court later on Saturday.
