<\/p>\nThe family of a Sunshine Coast woman allegedly murdered by her boyfriend during a road trip in the Northern Territory has described her as “one of a kind”.<\/p>\n
Nothern Territory Police said they found Christine Joyce Diane Marshall Hunter, 27, dead in a 4WD vehicle outside Tennant Creek on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Police alleged Sunshine Coast man Blayze James Noble, 33, called authorities to report his girlfriend was injured after the four-wheel drive struck a kangaroo near Tennant Creek.<\/p>\n

Mr Noble was arrested soon after and held in police custody.<\/p>\n
On Thursday night police charged him with murder.<\/p>\n
Jazmyne Lecerf said her older sister’s death still did not feel real and that the family was “trying to process the shock and grief of losing her so suddenly”.<\/p>\n
Family devastated<\/p>\n
Ms Lecerf said her sister was “loving”, “protective” and “had a presence that could light up a room”.<\/p>\n
“Our family is devastated,” she said.<\/p>\n
“She was definitely one of a kind.<\/p>\n
“She was very caring, loving, and she definitely showed it to the people she loved.”<\/p>\n
Ms Hunter grew up in Caloundra and worked at a Sunshine Coast bakery after leaving school.<\/p>\n
Ms Lecerf said her sister had no family or close support in the NT.<\/p>\n
“This has been incredibly hard for us, being so far away and feeling so helpless,” she said.<\/p>\n
Coast man to face court<\/p>\n
NT Police said the couple travelled through Ban Ban Springs, Emerald, Winton, Cloncurry, Mt Isa, and Camooweal in Queensland as part of their road trip.<\/p>\n
Ms Hunter’s family said they last heard from her on March 30.<\/p>\n
Police were awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death.<\/p>\n
NT Police said Mr Noble would face Alice Springs Local Court on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The family of a Sunshine Coast woman allegedly murdered by her boyfriend during a road trip in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[291626,64,63,44,17189,291624,291625],"class_list":["post-597701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-alice-springs-local-court","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news","tag-nt-police","tag-sunshine-coast-man-charged-with-murder","tag-tennant-creek-murder"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
