A man was arrested for trying to kill his 70-year-old grandmother by stabbing her.

A middle-aged man has been accused of attempting to murder a 70-year-old woman by stabbing her multiple times in her home in Queensland. The authorities were alerted to the incident when a distress call came in at around 11:40 pm on Saturday night from a residence on Short Street in Boronia Heights, Logan. The victim, Valerie Paterson, suffered severe injuries to her face, neck, and chest in what appears to be a frenzied attack. She was immediately rushed to the hospital and is currently in a serious condition.

In the aftermath of the incident, a 40-year-old man was arrested and charged with attempted murder, breaking and entering, causing intentional damage, and domestic violence offenses. The police have reason to believe that the accused and Valerie are acquainted with each other. The case was presented in front of the Beenleigh Magistrates Court today, and the suspect is scheduled to appear in court once again tomorrow.

Valerie's grandson, Bailey Paterson, expressed his shock and devastation over the situation. He described his grandmother as a resilient and compassionate person who is always willing to help others. He shared, "She has always opened her doors to people in need, and to think that this could happen to her... I can't even put it into words, it's just unbelievable." Bailey went on to say that he is still trying to come to terms with what happened, and it's difficult to process. He added, "It's one thing to hear about such incidents on the news, but when it hits close to home, it's just mind-boggling."

Despite the traumatic events of the night, the police have reassured the public that there is no immediate danger to the community. They have also reminded people that help is available for those experiencing sexual assault, domestic violence, or family abuse through the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service at 1800RESPECT.
