Woman dies after alleged stabbing in Hamilton, Brisbane

A woman has died and another one has been charged over a horror stabbing in a glitzy suburb known for its high-end restaurants and multimillion dollar mansions.

A woman has been charged with murder over an alleged fatal stabbing attack in one of Brisbane’s richest suburbs - the second horror stabbing death to hit Australia within 24 hours.

About 8.45am on Thursday morning, Queensland police were called to an Oxford Street address in Hamilton, a leafy suburb east of the CBD, on reports of a disturbance.

They allege that a 55-year-old woman entered the unit and stabbed the 43-year-old resident.

The alleged victim sustained several serious stab wounds and was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, where she later passed away, police said.

The 55-year-old Hamilton woman has been charged with murder and entering with intent after the alleged attack.

“Police will allege the two women were known to each other but not in a familial setting,” the police said.

“Investigations are continuing. Detectives urge anyone who may have information to contact police.”

The alleged assailant will appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.

The woman’s death comes less than 24 hours after the brutal alleged murder of Julie Seed in broad daylight in Adelaide on Wednesday afternoon.

South Australian Police allege Shaun Michaels Dunk, 30, stabbed Ms Seed at Real Estate Agents Group on Lydia St in Plympton at about 3.40pm.

Mr Dunks has since been charged with murder.

He will appear at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Thursday.

SA Health confirmed the man had been released from their care just two days earlier.

He had been admitted on an inpatient treatment order, and the state’s chief psychiatrist will review the case.
