A mother is reported dead following an alleged stabbing in the Perth suburb of Bentley. Police say her 12-year-old daughter has been seriously injured and is being treated for her injuries. A teenage son is in police custody in connection with the incident.

All three reports describe the same outcome for the family: the mother’s death, the daughter’s serious condition, and the son’s detention by police. The reports do not provide additional details about the circumstances of the stabbing, the alleged weapon, or what charges (if any) have been filed at this stage. They also do not specify the mother’s or daughter’s identities, or the exact timeline of events.

Police are expected to investigate the incident and determine the relevant charges and next steps following the custody of the teenage son. Further information will likely emerge as the investigation progresses and authorities confirm more details about the incident and the victims.
