Boyfriend's head still missing, 34-year-old Australian reality TV star arrested in 'catatonic state' for gruesome murder

Reality TV star, 34-year-old Tamika Sueann-Ross Chesser, was hit with murder charges two days after the decapitated and mutilated body of her 39-year-old boyfriend, Julian Story, was found on the bathroom floor of an apartment in Port Lincoln -- though the head of Story still remains missing and a hunt is on.

Chesser was arrested in a catatonic state after police found the gruesome murder when they went to respond to a small fire in the dwelling June 17. "It was a confronting scene for police and emergency services personnel as Julian's body had been dismembered. Julian's head had been removed during the dismemberment and, despite extensive searches, has not yet been located," the police said. “I can tragically say that we have not recovered the head of Julian Story,” detective superintendent Darren Fielke told reporters Friday, noting a motive for the victim’s gruesome demise remains unknown.“I can only imagine, and I want you to imagine, the grief this news is causing Julian’s family. Recovering Julian’s head to return it to his family so they can have a peaceful outcome, have a funeral and lay him to rest is a really important aspect for us.”Surveillance footage revealed that hours after the savage killing, a woman dressed in black from head to toe, believed to be Chesser, went for a walk with her dogs. Ian Parrott, the South Australia Police assistant commissioner, said there were a lot of unanswered questions in the investigation and it was a complex crime scene “so it will take some time to understand the exact nature of what’s occurred”.

'This is not her...She would never do these things'

Chesser's sister Kiya-May Chesser told Daily Mail Australia her sister is in a mental psychosis. "This is not her...She would never to these things." She added that her sister had experienced a "life of trauma and abuse, and now this -- it has fried her brain".
