Just weeks after nine-year-old Charlise was allegedly murdered by her stepfather and dumped in a barrel, Daily Mail Australia can reveal her baby cousin is fighting cancer.
Tweed Heads Public School, in northern NSW, is mourning the loss of Charlise Mutten after her body was discovered last week in a barrel dumped near the Colo River northwest of Sydney.
Nine-year-old Charlise Mutten was fatally shot with a small calibre rifle but police have found no traces of blood or gunshot residue, as detectives have finally interviewed her mother Kallista.
Charlise Mutten s accused killer, Justin Stein, 31, is a marked man behind bars at Silverwater Correctional Facility where inmates are threatening to kill him if they can get their hands on him.
Detectives are pursuing three key questions surrounding the alleged murder of Charlise Mutten including the motive of her stepfather Justin Stein, who has been charged over her grisly death.
