A 34-year-old reality TV star was arrested on Thursday at her home in Port Lincoln, Australia, for allegedly murdering her partner, according to 7News. Police arrived on the scene after reports of a small fire at 3:25 p.m., where they found the body of the deceased. The cause of death remains unknown. The accused, whose name has not been publicly disclosed, reportedly appeared on Beauty and the Geek. The reality TV program pairs attractive women with awkward yet intelligent men to win $250,000 after a series of challenges while the contestants cohabitate in a mansion. The woman had moved in with her partner only a few months earlier. Footage has recently surfaced showing, weeks before the murder, the accused on top of a Port Lincoln war memorial, wearing a veil yet topless, silently holding a sharp object. The woman appeared at court on Friday and remains in custody under Australia’s Mental Health Act. Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott of the South Australian Police described the scene as “very complex,” and decidedly “not a random incident.” Detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Branch and officers from the Forensic Response Section are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
