Australian actress and model Tamika Chesser, known for a television program, has been accused of murdering and dismembering her boyfriend Julian Story. Police announced that the head of the decapitated body found is still being searched for.
According to a statement from South Australia police, 34-year-old model Tamika Chesser, who participated in the 2010 season of Beauty and the Geek Australia, is accused of murdering her 39-year-old boyfriend Julian Story and dismembering his body.
SMALL FIRE REPORT REVEALED THE MURDER
On Thursday, June 19, around 3:30 PM, police teams responding to a small fire report in an apartment in Port Lincoln, South Australia, encountered a dismembered body. In a statement, it was said, "Julian's head was severed, and despite extensive searches, it has not yet been found."
Police believe the murder occurred around midnight on Tuesday, June 17.
WITNESS: 'I WENT INSIDE WHEN I SAW THE SMOKE'
According to documents presented to the court regarding the incident, a witness stated that they saw smoke coming from the apartment and asked the suspect what she was doing. According to the witness, Chesser simply replied "nothing" before taking her dogs out and locking the front door.
Concerned about the fire spreading, the witness entered through the back door and tried to extinguish the burning rags and debris in the bathroom area. At that moment, it was noted that Chesser was sitting motionless and unresponsive on a chair in the backyard of the house.
DECAPITATED BODY, SECURITY CAMERAS, AND PUBLIC APPEAL
Police released security camera footage showing the clothes Chesser was wearing on the night of the murder. The public was asked to review home security cameras to help determine Chesser's whereabouts on the night of the incident. Chief Commissioner Darren Fielke stated that Chesser usually did not drive and expressed that they were seeking help from the public. Fielke added that there is still no information about the motive for the incident, but they are working on the couple's relationship.
CHESSER HELD IN MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY
Tamika Chesser appeared in court via video conference from a mental health facility on June 27. She is being held under supervision due to an arrest warrant issued against her. Chesser's bail request was denied, and her next hearing will be held in December.
