Perth Hotel Tragedy: Family Law Barrister, Alice McShera Allegedly Murdered by Partner, Sending Shockwaves Through Community.

 


In a heartbreaking incident that unfolded at a Perth hotel, a 34-year-old family law barrister named Alice McShera allegedly lost her life at the hands of her 42-year-old partner, Cameron Pearson, inside a room at Crown Towers in Burswood. 

Reports suggest that the couple had experienced a significant argument during a holiday trip to Tasmania earlier in the year, which temporarily led to their separation before they eventually reconciled.

One of Ms. McShera's friends, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed these details and expressed concerns over the turbulent relationship. Mr. Pearson, who was discovered at the scene the following morning with self-inflicted wounds, has been subsequently charged with her murder. 


While Ms. McShera is the 57th woman to die in an alleged domestic violence incident in Australia this year, her family, including Mr. Pearson's sister, declined to provide comments to the media.

Elsa Constant, a close friend of Ms. McShera, expressed her shock and sorrow over the tragic loss and emphasized the victim's promising legal career. 

She urged anyone facing concerns from friends to seek help. Ms. McShera's Facebook page contained a poignant message where she thanked her best friend for arranging the hotel stay and shared her appreciation for life, unaware of the tragedy that would follow.

WA Police Inspector Geoff Desanges disclosed that Crown security staff had responded to a call from a concerned family member who sought to contact the individuals in the hotel room, raising initial concerns. Authorities discovered that Ms. McShera had sustained head injuries consistent with a "blunt instrument."


Cameron Pearson appeared in Perth Magistrates Court in a white forensic jumpsuit, facing charges of murder and multiple questions to verify his understanding of the charge. He was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on November 22.
