A teenager jailed for murdering a Queensland classroom 6x unblocked mum after breaking into her home north of Brisbane on Boxing Day had never spent a day in custody despite racking up an astonishing 84 convictions since he was 15. North Lakes woman Emma Lovell was stabbed to death outside her home after the teenager, then 17, entered through the unlocked door before attempting to get away from a struggle with the mum of two and her husband Lee on the night of Boxing Day back in 2022.
In the ensuing scuffle, Ms Lovell suffered a fatal stab wound to her heart, while Mr Lovell was also stabbed in the back and kicked in the face. That teenager, who has since turned 19 in custody, was sentenced to 14 years' jail on Monday for Ms Lovell's murder. It can be revealed that this is his first stint in custody despite racking up convictions over a 2.5 year period in the lead-up to the North Lakes carnage. Emma Lovell was stabbed to death outside her home on Boxing Day 2022 by a teenager armed with a knife In sentencing remarks published by Queensland's Supreme Court earlier in the week, Justice Tom Sullivan said the teenager had been convicted of 84 offences related to break-ins or attempted break-ins of homes or cars.
The first was committed in May 2020 - when the teenager was just 15. Sixteen of them involved unlawful entry or attempted entry of premises - two of which involved homes with the families still inside. 'On one occasion, you were confronted by an owner and classroom 6x unblocked you fled,' Justice Sullivan said. 'On another occasion, you were confronted by a dog inside the home. 'Commonly, the purpose of your unlawful entry was to obtain car keys to allow you the use of cars which would then be stolen.' Eleven offences in the teenager's record were for unlawful entry or use of vehicles. Despite the staggering number of entries, he was never placed in custody - instead being sentenced to probation orders lasting anywhere between three to nine months.
Justice Sullivan said those probation periods involved weekly meetings with a Youth Justice case worker that lasted from 45 minutes to an hour. The Lovells confronted the teenager and his alleged accomplice in their home - the brawl spilling onto the front lawn where Ms Lovell was fatally stabbed '(You would) participate in a module-based program known as Changing Habits and Reaching Targets,' Justice Sullivan said.
'This was a research-based program, which sought to directly target your property offending behaviours with a view to reducing your future offending.' The teenager was on one such probation order at the time he murdered Ms Lovell. Justice Sullivan found the attack on the Lovells to be a 'particularly heinous' offence, which allowed him to jail the child for more than the maximum 10-year jail term that can be imposed under Queensland's Youth Justice Act.
Prosecutors had previously pushed for this in the circumstances the teenager was on probation and had arrived at the Lovells' home armed with an 11.
