Queensland’s Attorney-General Deb Frecklington has criticised the sentencing of a youth offender involved in a break-in that resulted in the violent murder of a Brisbane mother.

Victim Emma Lovell, 41, and her husband, Lee Lovell, were attacked by two youths in their North Lakes home in 2022, with one of the teens fatally stabbing Ms. Lovell through the chest.
