A four-year-old boy described by neighbours as a 'happy' and 'energetic' child is at the centre of one of Australia's most disturbing murder investigations. A separate media report alleged that the young boy's mum made comments about cannibalism following his death, though this claim has not been confirmed by police.

The unnamed 32-year-old woman from New South Wales has been charged with domestic violence-related murder after police found her son's body inside their Wyong home on Saturday. While authorities have confirmed the child suffered significant injuries, investigators are also said to be examining claims of cannibalism after the woman allegedly made references to it during conversations with police, according to the separate report.
