00:00Alexander Webb was arrested last night and brought here to the Brisbane Watch House and
00:07his matter was briefly heard in court this morning.
00:10It's alleged the 40-year-old stabbed Cecilia Webb several times at a home in the Gap yesterday
00:15afternoon.
00:16She was found in the front yard by emergency services and declared dead at the scene.
00:22Mr Webb was taken into custody by federal police at the Brisbane International Airport
00:27about two hours later.
00:29It's alleged he'd bought a plane ticket shortly after the attack and was planning to travel
00:34to Tokyo.
00:35Seasoned detectives say the alleged crime is incredibly confronting and it's a devastating
00:41situation for Mrs Webb's other family members.
00:44The injuries were quite horrific, she was stabbed multiple times, it's probably important
00:52to point out that the scene itself was particularly horrific.
00:55I've been investigated for over 20 years and it was one of the worst crime scenes I've
00:59seen.
01:00Mr Webb didn't appear in court this morning and his duty lawyer adjourned the case.
01:05He'll remain in custody until it's heard again next month.
