A COUPLE faced court yesterday over the stabbing murder of a Norlane mother of three in her home.
They fronted court as police scanned CCTV images after shots were fired near a busy intersection during a separate incident two days later in Geelong’s northern suburbs.
Luke Berg, 28 and Alicia Schiller, 25, made a brief appearance in Geelong Magistrates’ Court charged with killing Tyrelle Evertsen-Mostert in her Ibis Crt home on Sunday night.
Both were charged with one count of murder. They will face a committal mention hearing on 20 March.
Police said they were reviewing the CCTV footage in a bid to work out who fired at least three shots following a dispute between two parties on Melbourne Rd just after 3pm Tuesday.
Police believed that the shots were fired after a row outside a Shell service station, adjacent to Ford’s factory.
“During the altercation it’s believed one of the males in the group has produced and discharged a firearm,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
‘’A short time later, a further altercation took place between one of the men in the group and the unknown victim on Melbourne Rd near The Boulevard where a firearm was discharged once again.”
A bullet hit a side window of a Geelong Locksmiths van during the incident, possibly by crossfire.
Police said the van’s innocent driver, a worker in his 30s, was shocked but unhurt.
Police urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
