A murderer cannot explain why he directed his young daughter to find her mother's body an hour after he had ambushed and violently killed her in their garage.

Kaliopi Roumeliotis had only just stepped out of her car on 30 November 2022 when Joe Lo Bianco attacked her with a metal car ramp, repeatedly striking her to the head and neck.

This article was amended on 4 September 2024 to make it clear the daughter did not know she was going to find her deceased mother.
