A teenager who murdered a British woman during a home invasion in Queensland has had his time in detention reduced by almost 18 months on appeal.

But Queensland’s attorney general says she will consider a high court challenge to the decision.

The boy, who cannot be named as he was aged 17 at the time of the offences, fatally stabbed Emma Lovell in the heart after he broke into her family’s house north of Brisbane about 11.30pm on Boxing Day in 2022.
