A mother has been charged with murdering her 10-year-old lover by allegedly severing his genitals and stabbing him and his companion to death.
After her lover Samir Esbeck, 59, and his friend Sarkis Abboud, 61, were stabbed in the early hours of Thursday, May 5, Jasmine Everleigh, 44, was charged with two charges of murder.
According to 7NEWS in Australia, the pair had been together for ten years until Everleigh attacked him and hacked off his genitals.
Esbeck, her partner, died at the scene in an apartment in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia, according to the Mirror, while his friend Abboud died tragically on the way to the hospital.
Everleigh was apparently spotted on CCTV shirtless and in a bra walking down the street with a shirt wrapped around her hand after the alleged stabbing.
Everleigh was later apprehended on a neighbouring tram in Calton and was discovered to have cuts on her arms.
"She was bleeding and had a significant deal of blood on her," Acting Assistant Commissioner Mick Frewen told local media.
On Friday, May 6, she was brought to the hospital before being examined and charged with two charges of murder by police.
Mr. Abboud's daughter has written a moving homage to her late father.
"No one deserves this type of anguish left with them," Christine Abboud posted on social media.
"My father was a hero to me, a caring spouse and family brother.
"It breaks my heart to know I'll never see him again... I adore you, Dad.
A murder investigation has been initiated, and the apartment has been blocked off, as has a strip club around 350 metres away.
