Melbourne mother allegedly killed by carpenter in front of her kids.

In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that a Melbourne carpenter has been accused of murdering a mother in front of her children. The victim, Vicky Van Aken, was only 51 years old and was tragically trying to protect a teenage boy before she was fatally attacked on her doorstep. As a mother, daughter, and sister, her loss is deeply felt by her loved ones. The horrific incident took place in Bayswater, a suburb in the eastern part of the city, where Vicky was killed in her own home in front of her three sons.

One of the boys was her own son, while the other two were a 17-year-old who lived next door. According to the police, the 17-year-old had sought refuge at Vicky's house when his father, the accused killer, arrived with a knife. It is believed that the attack on Vicky was the first one, as she was stabbed multiple times before the children were chased. The 17-year-old also sustained injuries to his hand during the ordeal. The 47-year-old suspect was later arrested at his home and taken to the hospital under police guard.

During his court appearance this morning, the accused killer, Milorad Zaric, who also goes by the nickname Mick, was seen dressed in a white forensic suit. He appeared to be in distress, clutching his chest and sighing, but remained silent throughout the proceedings. The court was informed that the carpenter is currently struggling with withdrawal from drugs and alcohol, and has no prior history of being in custody.

Meanwhile, Vicky's sons and other devastated family members returned to their home this afternoon to gather some of their belongings. At the same time, the relatives of the accused killer were seen repairing damages inside his house, just a few meters away. The scene was heart-wrenching as the two families were in such close proximity, yet their lives were forever changed due to this tragic event.

As the investigation continued, homicide detectives returned to the scene later in the afternoon. They have stated that there were no known issues between the two neighbors and there was no evidence to suggest that they were in any kind of relationship. Mr. Zaric is scheduled to return to court in February for further proceedings. The entire community is left in shock and mourning over the senseless loss of a beloved mother, and the accused killer's family is also grappling with the devastating reality of the situation.
