8 children stabs to death in Australia, mother in critical condition

Police in Australia found the bodies of eight children between the age of 18months and 15 years. Seven of them are siblings while one is a relation, their 34 years old mother was also stabbed, and is said to be in critical condition in a hospital.
Police secure the crime scene in the Manoora suburb of Cairns


Both young and old came to place floral tributes for those that died at Murray Street in Manoora 
Scores of detectives, paramedics and forensic officers have swarmed over the home on Murray Street in Manoora, around 4km west of the coastal town's main tourist strip. 
Details about what investigators found inside the house have not been revealed but a neighbour said she had been told there were bloody scenes 'everywhere' inside. Officers who arrived first on the scene said it was like 'something out of a horror movie'. 
Specialist police officers are now on their way from Brisbane to help with the situation and the crime scene is completely locked down. There are no formal suspects as yet.
'There's not much else we can say, but we have a range of strategies in place to support the family through this very difficult time,' Detective Inspector Asnicar said.
'It's a tragic and traumatic with so many deceased in one place. It's right up there with some of the most serious things I've ever had to deal with.' 
Ms Thaiday said another sibling, a 20-year-old man, arrived home to discover his brothers and sisters dead inside the house. 
He is now being consoled by other family members. 
'I'm going to see him now, he needs comforting,' Ms Thaiday said. She described the family and extended relatives as close-knit and many live in surrounding suburbs. 
'We're a big family and most of us are from the (Torres) Strait,' she said, adding that she rushed to the scene after hearing about the incident on the radio.  
The woman at the centre of the Cairns family massacre was ‘happy go lucky and seemed to really love her kids’, Daily Mail Australia has been told.
Robert Struber, who lived for 20 years in the house where the deaths took place, said he had spoken with the 34-year-old on several occasions while visiting his former neighbours. 
He said the last time he had seen the mother, a few months ago, she was ‘friendly and happy to chat’ and that she had mainly looked after her large family and 'seemed to really love her kids’. 
Mr Struber said he hadn't met the father of the children.
