A woman allegedly cut off her boyfriend's private parts after stabbing him and his friend to death.
On the morning of Thursday, 5 May, 44-year-old Jasmine Everleigh from Melbourne is accused of attacking her partner, 59-year-old Samir Esbeck, and his friend Sarkis Abboud, 61.
Everleigh has since been charged with two counts of murder.

Emergency services reportedly found the two men with fatal stab wounds at the Brunswick apartment early Thursday morning.
Abboud died on the way to hospital, while Esbeck died at the scene.
It is reported that Esbeck and Everleigh had been a couple for nearly 10 years.
Everleigh was apprehended and arrested later the same day in Carlton while on board a tram, and was taken to hospital with cuts to her arms.
On Thursday, Acting Assistant Commissioner Mick Frewen told reporters: "She was bleeding and had a fair bit of blood on her."

Everleigh was interviewed by police after she was released from hospital the following day, however, the police are still trying to ascertain the events leading up to the alleged stabbing and what happened during the incident.
After the alleged stabbing, the mother was reportedly seen walking down the street, shirtless and in a bra, her image captured on CCTV.
A shirt was wrapped round her hand and her shoes said to be covered in blood, leaving a trail in her wake.

Abboud's daughter, Christine, has since taken to social media to pay tribute to her dad.
She said: "No one deserves this kind of pain left with them. My father was my hero, a loving husband and brother to his family. My heart feels empty knowing I won’t ever see him again. Dad, I love you."
Abboud has been described as a respected figure of the community and will 'never be forgotten' according to former Moreland Councillor Milad El-Halabi for the Saint Maura Association of Victoria.
He wrote on Facebook: "A Brother and father and friend to many, who was loved by all and will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
"Sarkis was a great public figure in the community. His presence was always felt, and on this sad day, his passing saddens us all. Sarkis is now at peace with God and is joining beloved ones and all our other angels."

Everleigh is set to appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 29 August.
