A 29-year-old man has been charged with domestic violence-related murder after the death of a young mother who was stabbed in a "horrific scene" on a public footpath.
The woman, named in media reports as mother-of-four Heather Ball, was found with stab wounds on Wednesday night after emergency services were called to a unit complex on Short Street at Caboolture, north of Brisbane.
Police allege the 27-year-old woman and the man were involved in an altercation about 8.30pm before she was stabbed.
