Gold Coast woman Yingying Xu faced court yesterday after being charged with the murder of her 10yo daughter Sophie Wang, whose body was discovered at the family home on Tuesday night. Reports say Wang had several visible wounds, including a cut to her neck. Emergency services were called to the Emerald Lakes property after her father found her unresponsive. Queensland Detective Acting Inspector Kent Ellis says the crime scene was “one of the most confronting” he’s seen in 15 years. Reports say police are looking into TikTok videos posted by Xu where she speaks about “Satan…interfering with my soul.”… And in London, an Australian girl was attacked in the tourist area of Leicester Square on Monday. The 11yo was held in a head lock and stabbed 8 times by a man in what police say was a random attack – and the security guard who freed her is being called a hero. Her alleged attacker, a Romanian man, has been charged with attempted murder.
