A woman who was allegedly fatally stabbed by her daughter, who was then shot dead by police, has been identified as a Victorian social worker. Joanne Perry, 53, died on Friday evening after she was stabbed several times in her neck and chest. Police were called to the Lower Plenty home about 6.30pm following reports from neighbours that Perry’s 26-year-old daughter had set the woman alight.
“They were confronted with a terrible dilemma and they’ve acted absolutely appropriately within their training and within the guidelines and for that, they have my fullest support along with the broader organisation,” Colson said. “No member wants to go to work expecting or wanting to draw their firearm. “It’s a terrible situation which they dread.” The two officers, who both have experience in the force between four and six years, were not armed with a taser.
