Police have applied for an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO)
against a woman after she was charged with stabbing her son in one
of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs.
However, in a shock twist to the story, a Court has heard that
the son had just confessed to a murder and threatened his
mother.
22-year-old Hugo Ball underwent surgery and is being treated in
hospital for "multiple stab wounds" after the vicious
attack.
His mother, 55-year-old Samantha Palmer, was charged with
serious domestic violence offences and refused bail.
What happened?
At approximately 1.40am on Saturday, 21 November 2020, Police
and Ambulance officers attended Drumalbyn Road in Bellevue
Hill.
There they found Mr Ball with "multiple stab wounds".
He was treated at the scene before being taken to St Vincent's
Hospital in a serious condition.
