A mother of two has been stabbed to death in her Melbourne home, with her husband now under police guard in hospital.<\/p>\n
Lavanya Achanta, 39, was found dead in her Vermont home, in the city\u2019s east, about 10pm on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Her husband Srinivas Achanta, 39, was treated by paramedics and then arrested. <\/p>\n
He was taken to hospital under police guard to be questioned by detectives. <\/p>\n
No charges have been laid.<\/p>\n
Neighbours said the couple were quiet people who largely kept to themselves.<\/p>\n
They moved to the street with their two children about two years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery sad, very sad set of circumstances. Hard to believe it\u2019s happened not too far from our house,\u201d neighbour Jenny told 9News.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing like this ever happens here so yeah, it\u2019s very unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, forensic officers could be seen entering the home on Delatite Court.<\/p>\n
Officers are focused on a stand-alone house on the cul-de-sac street. <\/p>\n
Police tape was draped from the front fence across the footpath, as forensics in overalls and homicide detectives in suits went in and out.<\/p>\n
