Killer of Emma Lovell fights for early release
The killer of North Lakes mother Emma Lovell is fighting to be freed early.
Lovell was murdered by the then-17-year-old in an armed home invasion on Boxing Day, 2022, at her family’s home in the Moreton Bay suburb.
The man is due to remain behind bars until 2032, but his lawyers have launched a new Supreme Court appeal.

They argue the sentencing judge’s characterisation of the crime as “particularly heinous” was incorrect.
“I just think it’s pretty disgraceful,” husband Lee Lovell, who was also injured in the attack, told Nine News on Monday.

“In court, they throw around big words and they talk about people’s lives, but they don’t understand the impact of [a life] that’s gone.”
The attacker cannot be named due to his age at the time of the crime.
