Woman charged with murder after fitness intructor found stabbed to death on nature strip

A woman has been charged with murder after another woman was found stabbed to death on a quiet suburban nature strip in Melbourne's north-west yesterday.

Rachel Tyquin's body was discovered on a strip near her home at Sunbury at around 7:30am on Saturday morning.

The 44-year-old fitness Instructor had suffered multiple stab wounds.

A 53-year-old was questioned by police for several hours in an out-of-sessions hearing before she was charged last night.

The pair had allegedly been arguing over a parking issue, and it's believed Tyquin had taken out an AVO against the 53-year-old.

Ms Tyquin was known on her street 'a really lovely lady' who 'always said hello'.

"I couldn't see why anyone would have an issue with her,"

"Surreal, bizarre - you don't expect to see that anywhere where you live, let alone on a nature strip,"
