Perth man charged over Willagee ‘stabbing’ of ex-partner

A 33-year-old man has fronted court charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a woman 10 times in Willagee.

Leon Kenneth Bropho appeared in Northbridge Magistrates Court on Saturday morning donning a police forensics jumpsuit, speaking only to confirm his name and that he understood the charge against him.

Bropho stands accused of attempting to murder his former partner at a Jules Court address in the early hours of Friday morning.

He kept his head bowed as his lawyer declared there would be no application for bail, with the 33-year-old remanded in custody until his next appearance in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on October 25.
