Mary Anne Fagan lived in Armadale, in Melbourne's south-east, with her husband and five children, aged six, 12, 13, 15 and 17 months old at the time.

Her body was found by her children

They broke a window to get inside and found their mother in the bedroom, bound, gagged and fatally stabbed multiple times.

Police say her husband was away working on the day she was killed in February 1978 and wasn't expected back until later that afternoon.

The motive for her murder has never been established and personal items taken from the home remain unrecovered.

“We know her family still feel her loss as keenly as they did 46 years ago,” Victoria Police Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said in a statement.

“Each of her children has had to grow up without their mother and I know they have thought about that almost every day.

“Mary Anne was brutally murdered for no apparent reason in the place she should have felt safest, and with her 17-month-old baby nearby.”
