Videos and photos have emerged of a juvenile allegedly involved in a home invasion that ended in a mother’s brutal murder driving around in allegedly stolen luxury cars just days before her death.

Emma Lovell, 41, was fatally stabbed in the chest on Boxing Day after allegedly trying to fend off a group of juvenile intruders who broke into her home about 11.30pm.

Paramedics desperately tried to save the mother-of-two’s life, but she died at the scene.

Mrs Lovell’s husband, Lee, and her two daughters are now forced to live their lives without her.

Four juveniles have were arrested over Mrs Lovell’s death.

Two boys from Brisbane, both aged 17 have been charged with murder and attempted murder.

The two juveniles were remanded in custody until the new year following their matters being heard in Brisbane Childrens Court for the first time this morning.

At least one of the boys charged with murder was on bail for a break-in and receiving stolen property.

Two others, a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, have each been charged with one count of stealing in relation to a separate incident which occurred shortly after midday December 26.

They were both released on bail and are expected to appear at Caboolture Children’s Court at a later date.

Just days earlier, one of the youths posted videos of himself and others driving around in allegedly luxury stolen cars and hitting speeds of more than 190km/h.

The youth posed in front of the cars, which included an Audi and Porsche, held up fistfuls of cash, covered his face, and was pictured throwing gang signs.

The most recent video was shared to social media just a week ago.

The juveniles alleged to be involved in the home invasion were well-known to police, but they would not confirm if any of the alleged offenders were on bail at the time.

At least one of the boys has been linked to a government-funded house, which provides “supported independent living” to children under 16.

According to Queensland Government data, it is a “placement service” which provides out of home care to children “in need of protection” to ensure they feel “supported and safe”.

Data shows the house north of Brisbane has been funded more than $400,000 from the Queensland Government in the last financial year under a multi-year deal.

The boy was seen walking out of the house with police on Tuesday.

Fighting back tears, neighbour Balraj Singh described the Lovells as a nice, hard working family.

“Emma was such a nice lady. Always smiling, hard working, working at home, trying to raise her kids,” Mr Singh said.

“I’ve never seen her in a sad mood. She was very family orientated.”

Mr Singh said the Lovells worked very hard while looking after their family.

“Listen to how nice she was. My kids came over here and I was going to buy a trampoline, she came to me and said ‘hey we’ve got an extra trampoline at home, do you want it’.

“Who does that? Such a nice lady.

“She was kind, hard working, always doing good for the community.

Mr Singh said juvenile rules needed to change.

“When you say OK they are treated as kids between 16-18,” he said

“That should be changed, because they suffer.

“How can we bring Emma back tell me, it were your family tell me.”
