Nelomie Perera’s Murder case: Explained

A terrifying home surveillance footage shows a terrified young girl pleading with her neighbor for assistance after her mother is fatally stabbed in their home.

Nelomie Perera, a mother of three, was discovered dead in a pool of blood on Saturday night, just before midnight, at her Wodalla Circuit home in the south-east Melbourne neighborhood of Sandhurst.

On Sunday afternoon, her ex-husband Dinush Kurera, 45, who is suspected of being the knifeman, was detained and charged with one count of murder.

The girl pounded on their doors in the usually peaceful suburban street, waking up startled neighbors.

Who is Dinush Kurera?

The young woman replies, “I don’t know where, she’s dead.” “I’m almost positive she’s dead.” Paul Vavitas, the Pereras’ next-door neighbor, hurried over but was helpless.

It is known that the couple, who had three children together, separated after 20 years of marriage around a year ago. Their 14-year-old son also allegedly suffered injuries in the purported event, including a neck stab wound.

He underwent an urgent procedure and is currently in a critical but stable state. The next court date for Mr. Kurera is in April; he did not request bail.

Loved mother Nel, also known as Nel, was described by friends as a “lovely person and a loving and loyal friend and mother.”

The Herald Sun quoted her friend Bec as saying, “We are all shocked, appalled, and deeply saddened by this senseless and wanton act.” We will always remember you since we love and miss you so much.

Nel is one of my best friends and she is an amazing, kindhearted, and humble person that I have ever met. I am aware that she had informed the police about her life-threatening from her x husband. But I am so disappointed that they didn’t do anything about this. I don’t wanna believe this news it’s real. I want justice for Nelomie Perera. Love her a lot and going to miss her lifetime.

I completely agree, she informed them of everything and did the right thing. The system failed her completely. She even notified the police when he arrived back in Australia Thursday. Soo sad such a beautiful beautiful soul.
