An Indian woman has died in hospital five days after an alleged triple stabbing in Melbourne believed to have been sparked by a love triangle.
Baljit Kaur, 28, was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after the incident at a home on Woodlee Street in Dandenong at 11.30am on Friday, but died of her injuries on Wednesday morning, Victoria Police said.
A 35-year-old man from Dandenong remains in hospital under police guard with non-life-threatening injuries suffered during the alleged stabbing, and a 26-year-old man from Lyndhurst also sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said all three knew each other, and 9News reported a love triangle was believed to be the cause of the alleged stabbing.
No one has been charged over the incident.
Ms Kaur’s parents are attempting to obtain visas in order to travel to Australia for their daughter’s funeral rites, local Indian media outlet The Australia Today reported.
Homicide Squad and Dandenong Family Violence Investigation Unit detectives are still investigating, but said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the matter.
The alleged stabbing caused nearby Dandenong North Primary School to go into lockdown, but no children are believed to have witnessed the bloodshed.
