The 25-year-old son of Lannell Latta, the woman found stabbed to death in the home owned by supermodel Gemma Ward yesterday, has been charged with her murder.
The popular hairdresser was found dead in the northern beaches home yesterday, after receiving a report of an injured woman.
Neighbour Georgia Westwood told 9NEWS she could hear a scream from her balcony.
โI saw a man running down the road but I didnโt really think anything of it,โ she said.
Lannellโs son, 25-year-old Joel Woszatka, was later arrested nearby and later charged with his motherโs murder.
Police are investigating whether drugs were involved in the crime, after reports of Woszatkaโs troubles.
Gemma Ward responded to the news, telling the Daily Telegraph that her โheart goes out to the family and all involved in this tragedy.โ
โItโs heartbreaking news,โ she added.
