Police alleged the 44-year-old had stabbed her 43-year-old partner in the chest then allegedly set fire to items inside the house, including books and clothes.

Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said police allege Daidone-Zumbo plunged a 20cm serrated kitchen knife into Zumbo’s as he was having a cup of coffee on the balcony.

The stab wound just missed his heart, he said.

The 43-year-old was taken to hospital in a critical condition and has since undergone surgery.

Massingham said it was ”extremely lucky” the jogger was passing the house and that neighbours also heard screams and called triple-zero.

Daidone-Zumbo was arrested at the property and also taken to hospital but in a stable condition.

She was charged today with two domestic violence-related offences, attempted murder and endangering property by fire.

She is expected to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.
