An Australian reality TV star has been arrested after authorities found her boyfriend murdered in a gruesome scene.
You may have first seen or heard of Tamika Sueann-Rose Chesser on season 2 of Australia’s Beauty and the Geek, but now she’s associated with the vile murder of her boyfriend Julian Story. According to a statement released by the South Australia Police, emergency services were called to a Port Lincoln residence on June 19 after reports came in regarding a small fire. When officers arrived, they discovered a deceased male, who was identified as Chesser’s 39-year-old boyfriend. According to the report, Story’s body was completely dismembered, “severely burnt and disfigured.” according to docs obtained by multiple outlets. And despite an exhaustive search, police could NOT locate his severed head. As of now, authorities believe the murder occurred on June 17.
WTF!
According to legal documents obtained by The Telegraph, Chesser was arrested after police found her in the backyard of the crime scene in a “catatonic and unresponsive state.” She was charged with murder, disposing of human remains, and assaulting a police officer. Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said on Friday:
“I can tragically say that we have not recovered the head of Julian Story. 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.”
That’s so unimaginable…

Feikle went on:
“I’m appealing to local residents to review CCTV or dash cam footage which they may have, which may assist the investigation.”
The police department released photos of a woman they believe to be Chesser in head-to-toe black walking three dogs. The footage was reportedly captured just hours after the murder.
In the days since the harrowing situation, Chesser’s sister Kiya-May told DailyMail.com the reality TV alum is in the midst of a mental health crisis:
“Please report how my sister is in a mental psychosis. This is not her … She would never do these things.”
She went on to claim her sister has faced a “life of trauma and abuse” that has “fried her brain.” Chesser has reportedly been admitted to James Nash House, a forensic mental health facility. She is expected to appear in court in December.
Story’s family has since released the following statement:
“On behalf of our family, we want to sincerely thank the South Australian Police, emergency services, and first responders for their compassion and professionalism during this devastating time. We are navigating an unimaginable loss, and your care has brought comfort amid the chaos. We are also deeply grateful to our family and friends and this extraordinary community whose kindness and support have helped carry us through. Your prayers, presence, and quiet strength mean more than words can say. This will be our only statement. For any further information, please direct all enquiries to the South Australian Police.”
Our hearts are with Julian Story’s family during this unimaginable time. Rest in peace.
