Heather Ball, in her 20s, was allegedly stabbed at a unit complex in Caboolture about 8.30pm and was rushed to hospital in a critical condition but later died from her injuries.

Ball's sister Stephanie Fort posted a tribute on Facebook after her death.
"You were a wonderful sister and an amazing mother," she said.
"Our lives were made so much better and brighter for having you in it, and it is indeed dark times for our family and the many many people whose lives you touched in such beautiful ways.
"We will do everything we can to make sure your beautiful babies grow up as happy and healthy as possible, and that they know how incredible you were, and how much you adored them."
A neighbour who assisted Ball after she was allegedly stabbed said she could tell by her voice she was "terrified and screaming".
