‘Most beautiful person’: Mother dead, child injured and man under guard after suburban stabbing

A young mother has been killed, a child injured and a man put under police guard in hospital after a stabbing in Melbourne’s south-east on Tuesday morning.

Professional bodybuilder Monique Lezsak has been remembered as a great parent of nine-year-old twins after police said a woman was found stabbed to death following an altercation with a man at 7.30am at Endeavour Hills.

Her former partner, Jye Carter, confirmed the 37-year-old’s death on behalf of her grieving family.

“I just want to say that she is the most beautiful person,” Carter told reporters near the crime scene in a quiet suburban court.

“She’s a great mum. One of our kids has autism, and she has put 100 per cent into our kids and her own family. She’s the most beautiful person. It’s such a shame. I really don’t understand how this could happen.”

Carter said Lezsak was hoping to become a police officer after previously having experience in personal training.

“I couldn’t fault her in any way,” Carter said. “I was with her for 10 years. We haven’t been together since 2015, but she’s just a decent person. She’s a good mum. She doesn’t [stop] me from seeing my kids or anything.”

Police said the man and woman involved in the altercation knew each other and the male was under police guard in hospital.

Ambulance Victoria found him with upper body injuries and transferred him to The Alfred hospital. He was in a critical condition on Tuesday afternoon.

Paramedics, who were called at 7.45am, also took one child to the Monash Medical Centre in a stable condition.

About 2pm, Lezsak’s former partner ran past detectives towards the house at the centre of the crime scene where his kids had been. Officers soon caught up and stopped Carter from going any further, calming him down before he was joined by his sobbing partner in a police vehicle used for interviews.

Carter, who has been associated with the Finks motorcycle ganglater told reporters he rushed to the scene after friends shared media reports about the stabbing which showed it was near his former partner’s home.

Virginia Wright, who lives on the quiet court where the stabbing occurred, said she was stunned to see police cars and tape outside her home.

“It’s really a shock, and I couldn’t believe it was happening in our street,” she said.

Wright did not know the residents involved and said they appeared to be relatively young.

Homicide squad detectives and forensic teams were combing the scene on Tuesday afternoon.

A police SUV kept the court blocked off for non-local traffic, while tearful family and friends made their way through the police tape throughout the day.

Detectives are not looking for anyone else connected to the incident at this stage.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with information or CCTV footage is urged to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
