Royal Commission into the Killing of Australian Women and Girls

03/06/2026

31 May 2026
They lay them to rest in a single grave, this devoted and loving mum and the sons she adored.
Kamrun Nahar and her sons 12-year-old Ayman and four-year-old Ayaash were allegedly murdered by their partner and father on May 18 in Campbelltown, New South Wales. He is charged over their deaths.
Kamrun is the 29th of 30 Australian women killed this year. Last year we lost 79 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed. The boys are the eighth and ninth of 11 children lost to violence in 2026 - we saw 27 children killed in 2025.
May was Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in Australia.
In the past 31 days, Sherele Moody documented the killing of eight women and four children - 10 of the 12 murders were perpetrated by family members.
Media reporting around the accused's actions meandered into sympathetic with some journalists leading their stories with 'mercy killing' angles as they became aware he started planning their murders following the killing of young Otis and Leon Clune.
Police say he killed Kamrun, Ayman and Ayaash because the boys were neurodiverse. He was the stay-at-home parent while Kamrun worked fulltime to support her family.
As always, media have made the victims a footnote in their own murders, with no attempt to tell us of the lives they lived.
None of the articles that were read contained input from experts on domestic violence, carer violence and neurodiversity. Instead, we got the usual neighbour accounts.
Sometimes it feels like the tide will never turn.
SAY HER NAME - KAMRUN NAHAR - SHE MATTERS 😞😔

Frightening Statistics!

📍 New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a rise in domestic and family violence charges across Australia - up 8%, with 97,800 offenders recorded.

2024–25 marked the highest recorded offender rate since national FDV data was first published in 2019–20, at 403 offenders per 100,000 people.

More than three-quarters of FDV offenders were male (78 per cent), with a median age of 35 years.

Accountability matters.
Without prevention, early intervention, and systemic reform - the cycle continues.

At Women’s Legal Service Queensland, we continue to advocate for systemic reform to better prevent, respond to, and reduce domestic and family violence.
