A 17-year-old has pleaded not guilty to murdering Emma Lovell, a mother-of-two, during a home invasion in North Lakes, Australia, in December 2022. The co-defendant has already pleaded guilty and is serving 14 years. The prosecution claims the accused was complicit, having seen a knife just before the attack, while the defense argues he did not directly commit the violence. The trial is ongoing and expected to last four more days.
