, 45, had recently separated when the alleged attack took place, according to .
Chilling CCTV video captured horrifying footage of Perera’s 16-year-old daughter banging on her neighbour’s door late at night.
“Please, please, please, please, please, please, please!”, the teenager can be heard begging for help in the video.
“We’re coming, we’re coming, we’re coming,” a neighbour can be heard yelling in response.
After a woman answered the door, the teenager could be heard saying: “He’s cutting her with a knife, he’s like full-on bashing her with a knife.”
“She was just saying, ‘My mum’s dead, my mum’s dead’,” neighbour who tried to help Perera, told 9News.
Kurera also allegedly attacked the couple’s teenage son. The boy escaped with a non-life-threatening head injury and is being treated in hospital.
In Australia, an average of one woman a week is killed by a current or former partner. Perera is the 42nd woman to be killed violently in Australia this year, according to gender equality activist account . To put that into perspective, we’re 49 weeks into the year.
Just earlier this month, pregnant Noongar woman after she was hit in the head with a chunk of concrete while sitting in her car. The Indigenous women are murdered at up to 12 times the national average.
In October, a 74-year-old man in their Bronte home in Sydney. That same month, a 19-year-old man was charged with murder after his in Queensland bushland.

May was Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, in which we saw two women killed in one weekend. It was only the fifth month of the year, and 22 women had already lost their lives to violence from men.
Sadly, there are so many more cases that I won’t mention here. According to domestic violence prevention organisation , almost 10 women a day are hospitalised for assault injuries perpetrated by a spouse or domestic partner. And those are the women we have statistics for — how many fall through the cracks?
The point is: violence against women, especially family and intimate partner violence, is endemic in this country and it’s not getting better.
While we like to think we’ve all come a long way in the way our society treats women, the high-profile trial and the fact because of the vitriol faced for reporting her alleged rapist is a clear example that we haven’t.
Woman are still ridiculed when they come forward with allegations of abuse or sexual assault, they are still disbelieved — either by those around them or — and they still remain unprotected by court processes that re-traumatise them, often with no justice delivered in the end anyway.
Men still murder women, often women who they claim to have once loved.
And we still mourn them.
When does the cycle end?
