Son accused of stabbing mum to death north of Sydney

A 25-year-old man is accused of stabbing his 47-year-old mother to death.

The motive of the alleged attack is now under investigation as police have confirmed Blaise Mcintyre had no history of violence.

It is alleged Blaise repeatedly stabbed his 47-year-old mother Rebecca at their Windale home in Lake Macquarie at 8pm yesterday.

Paramedics tried to revive her, but she could not be saved.

NSW Police Supt Tracy Chapman said police seized a knife from the home.

The 25-year-old was taken to hospital under police guard before being charged with domestic violence murder.

Immediately after the attack, police claim it was actually Blaise Mcintyre who made the triple zero call for help.

They say he was not known to them before this incident and was never called to police for alleged domestic violence.

Rebecca McIntyre’s friends described her to 9News as a beautiful woman who was always so warm and loving.

“She always had a smile,” said a neighbor.
