A 24-year-old Rothwell woman has been charged with attempted murder following an alleged domestic violence incident in Kippa Ring that left her partner fighting for life in the hospital.
Emergency services rushed to a home on Nathan Road in Kippa Ring shortly before 5 am on Thursday morning after reports of an altercation. Upon arrival, they discovered a 30-year-old Kippa Ring man with a serious stab wound to his chest.
The man was immediately transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
Police charged the woman with one count of attempted murder (domestic violence) in relation to the alleged stabbing of her partner. She was refused bail and was scheduled to face Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.
The incident has shaken the normally quiet Nathan Road neighbourhood, with several residents expressing shock at the alleged attack.
Local resident Leon Ludke told reporters his wife witnessed police activity early that morning. He described the couple as quiet and considerate neighbours, saying he was genuinely surprised by the news.
His wife, Maryvonne Ludke, said she saw a man on a stretcher and a woman being escorted by police in handcuffs when she woke up. While she admitted feeling scared, she noted that such incidents can happen anywhere these days.
Another neighbour, Deb Bone, said the news made her feel sick to the stomach, particularly given the close proximity to her own home.
The matter remains under police investigation.
