Jifeng ‘Eileen’ Liu was believed to be in a relationship with her partner “for some months” before police were called to her Brisbane home this week.
The 47-year-old and her 20-year-old son Wenhao Du were found dead on the second floor of their Stretton home, after police were called to the property around 9:40am on Monday.
Eileen’s 49-year-old partner, Weifeng Huang, is also believed to live at the property. I have raised the alarm by calling triple zero.
After arriving at the home, Huang unlocked the front door for police officers who were confronted by “large amounts of blood” on the staircase of the property.
“The scene was confronting, it has been described as a frenzied attack on the two deceased persons,” said Brisbane Region Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham.
He confirmed the mother and son were found at the top of the stairs “in a bedroom on the right-hand side” and were dressed in “night attire”.

Police also located two “bladed” weapons at the scene.
“I can also confirm that the [alleged] weapons that were located yesterday that were described as two bladed weapons are in fact a long-handled kitchen knife and a meat cleaver,” Massingham told reporters.
Huang was treated for injuries and taken to a hospital in Brisbane where he underwent surgery.
He has since been charged with two counts of murder and remains under police guard.
On Tuesday, he attended a court hearing from his hospital bed via telephone, where he was unable to apply for bail and his matter was adjourned until September.
