A conspiracy theorist podcaster has been charged with the murder of his 30-year-old partner.

Perth man Tobias Nuttall, 32, appeared in the Midland Magistrates Court after his arrest at a home on Reid St in Bassendean on Wednesday.

Police were called to the home about 12.30pm following reports of a serious incident and found a woman with stab wounds.

She was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital in a critical condition, but later died.

Nuttall is a University of Notre Dame graduate with a bachelor of philosophy.

He is the co-host of a conspiracy theorist podcast called Waking World that discusses the “occult, magick, spirituality, and clandestine”.

His British co-host Dale shared an update with their listeners on Friday, saying Nuttall had been charged with a serious offence.

“It’s nothing to do with whether we’ve fallen out, it’s much worse than that,” he said.

“Toby has been charged, or is being charged with a very, very serious offence over in Perth, something that happened on Wednesday.

“I feel like I want to share something because it’s gonna come out in the news.”

Nuttall is due to face the Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on September 17.
