Now it has emerged that Ms Auvae had been mowing the grass with her killer just hours before her brutal murder, according to CCTV footage obtained by 7News.  

Ms Auvae’s death comes just 16 days before Christmas, which would have also been her 32nd birthday.

Neighbours described hearing a ‘loud bang’ and a ‘blood-curdling scream’ before the fire. 

Kiana Jeffrey had been sitting out the back of her home with family having a barbecue when she noticed smoke billowing from the home. 

‘I quickly ran to the top of the driveway and my friend was walking to our house yelling, stop, stop, stop,’ she told the Courier Mail.

‘Then I looked and there was blood everywhere and a lady was face down in the middle of the road.’

Ms Jeffery said Ms Auvae had keeled over in front of one home where the man had jumped the fence. 

Residents rushed from their homes to assist the badly injured woman. 

‘I just remember seeing her blood everywhere, on the driveway there was a big puddle and all the police just came flying,’ she said.

Ms Auvae, a Maori woman, who only recently moved to Queensland from Sydney, has been described a ‘loving and protective mother with a flawless nature’. 

Detective Harbison said the tragedy was a ‘dynamic, evolving incident when police, paramedics and fire officers arrived’

A man believed to be Ms Auvae’s partner can be seen in video footage attempting to flee from the scene before he was found outside a nearby home 

Detective Inspector David Harbison from Moreton Police told reporters on Sunday that police were investigating a domestic violence related homicide.

Ms Auvae’s family have started a GiveALittle fundraiser campaign to return her body to New Zealand and get her four children back home.

‘Her whanau here in New Zealand are doing everything they can to find out more details surrounding her death and the events leading up,’ her family said.

‘There are going to be a lot of costs associated with bringing her back to New Zealand as well as sorting out arrangements for her four beautiful children.’

Police are urging anyone who may have seen anything in the area at the time of the incident, or who may have relevant dashcam or CCTV footage, to come forward.
