The mother of murdered nine-year-old Charlise Mutten has said she hates herself for putting relationships first when her daughter already loved her unconditionally.

Kallista Mutten has spoken publicly for the first time since her then-fiance, Justin Stein, shot and killed Charlise in the Blue Mountains and dumped her body in a barrel in January 2022.
