Eveleigh was understood to have been in a relationship with Esbeck for more than 10 years, according to Daily Mail. She was found later that morning at a tram stop in Carlton covered in blood. The pair died due to the severity of stab wounds inflicted by Eveleigh. In the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday, September 19, the accused, who is being held in the Thomas Embling Hospital, a mental health facility, entered her plea of not guilty after she was read her caution by Magistrate Kieran Gilligan.
The 44-year-old, who was dressed in blue prison garb, will remain behind bars until her next Supreme Court of Victoria hearing in October. The court heard in May that Eveleigh had been seeking medical assistance for her different mental health issues resulting in a 'severe breakdown' in June 2021. If prosecutors contest Eveleigh's mental impairment claims, it would likely result in a separate trial to determine it.
She was allegedly seen wandering the streets of Melbourne in a bra with blood on her feet in CCTV footage. Eveleigh was captured with her shirt wrapped around her left hand moments after the alleged attack. She was also seen running in shoes that were apparently covered in blood across numerous streets and dark alleys. According to the police, Eveleigh left behind a one-mile trail of blood with stains found along several roads and a children's playground.
