A 47-year-old mom from Newcastle named Rebecca McIntyre was found dead in her home right after her 25-year-old son Blaise got arrested. Police charged him with murder in a domestic violence case after he allegedly stabbed her with a household knife. Blaise called Triple Zero himself, then got nabbed outside the window property while cops searched inside and discovered her body. Paramedics couldn't save her. After this week, that knife was seized for forensics and Blaise's hands were bagged up too before they marched him away. No signs of any past trouble between them. Cops say there was zero history of violence and he had a clean record mostly. Neighbors are gutted, one heard her yelling, please stop. Get off me during the chaos. Relatives call Rebecca, warm, loving, the type who never hurt a soul. Just weeks back, Blaise even posted a sweet family pick from his first birthday on social media. Now detectives are digging for a motive in this homicide probe, gathering evidence from

the house. Blaise skipped bail and faces court again in June. Superintendent Tracy Chaman hit it real. Domestic violence is tearing society apart, in this case shows while we got to keep talking about it. Local news, powered by AI. This is Cindy News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
