点击:'She had found God and was trying to turn her life around': Uncle of eight children stabbed to death spoke to their mother a day before the massacre, when she preached about religion
An uncle has revealed the final moment he saw his eight nieces and nephews before they were found stabbed to death at a Cairns home on Friday.
He told Daily Mail Australia the children were in the front yard of the Manoora property when he spoke to their mother, believed to be Mersane Warria - also known as Raina Thaiday, just a day before the tragedy.
The man claims his sister-in-law had 'found God and was changing her life around'.
His statement comes as police revealed on Saturday that four of the children were girls - aged 14, 12, 11 and two - and the remaining four were boys aged nine, eight, six and five. Police have informed five fathers they have lost children in the massacre.
A 37-year-old woman, confirmed as the mother of seven of the children and aunt of the eighth, has been arrested for murder and remains under police guard at Cairns Hospital.
