UK woman stabbed to death in Australia - BBC News
A 21-year-old British woman has died after she was attacked with a knife in front of 30 people at an Australian backpacker hostel.

A 30-year-old British man was also severely injured in the attack in Queensland state. A dog was also killed in the attack and a local man sustained minor injuries.

Police are investigating the possibility that the alleged attacker was motivated by extremist views.

It is alleged the 29-year-old French suspect used the Arabic phrase "Allahu akbar" during the attack.

French man said 'Allahu Akbar' at fatal Qld stabbing: police
Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski said witnesses reported the man used the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is great", during the attack and police body-worn cameras captured him saying it when arrested.

Mr Gollschewski said the British woman was believed to have been attacked first.

He said the Frenchman had been in Australia on a temporary visa since March but had not come in through Queensland initially.

The 29-year-old had no links to Islamic State, was not known to police and was not on any terrorism watch lists, Mr Gollschewski said.
