The husband of a British mother-of-two who was stabbed to death during a burglary at her home in Australia has said she “died trying to protect our family”.

Emma Lovell, 41, was killed after she and her husband Lee, 43, were attacked on Boxing Day at their home in North Lakes, 30 miles north of Queensland’s capital Brisbane.

Two 17-year-old boys have been charged with murder, attempted murder and breaking and entering.
