AK and her baby were allegedly killed in a murder-suicide near Alice Springs. Ella’s family wants answers

AK was full of life, kind hearted, and an amazing mother.

That’s how her heartbroken sisters remember the 30-year-old mother, who was allegedly killed by her partner last month, along with her 15-week-old baby, in Central Australia, north of Alice Springs.

“We loved her and we are going to miss her,” the sisters said.

Her family has given the ABC permission to share her initials and their images, in the hope that she is remembered as “more than a statistic”, and to push for systemic change.

AK’s partner’s body and a gun were also found at the scene, and Northern Territory Police have confirmed they are investigating the episode as a murder-suicide.

Speaking out for the first time since her death, AK’s family said they’re frustrated at the lack of information that has been made available to them by police.
