Police are hunting for a killer of a New Zealand woman in her Melbourne home.
Linda Parker, 53, was found dead in her unit in Doveton after neighbours heard screams and a van speeding off in the middle of the night.
Police said the mother of two died of multiplestab wounds about 12.50am yesterday but the weapon has yet to be found.
It is understood Ms Parker's body was found by her teenage daughter, Nicky Sweet, who lived with her.
Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre said police had not made any arrests. "We're ... trying to identify motives, but it's early days," he told the Herald Sun. "We're trying to track any movements to and from the address."
Detective Inspector John Potter told The Age newspaper police had formally interviewed a 17-year-old girl over the death, but could not discuss the girl's relationship with the woman. The girl is not being held in custody.
Neighbours described the home as the scene of frequent arguments.
Sheila O'Brien said she was woken by a van speeding away.
