Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of a 41-year-old Queensland woman at her home on Boxing Day.

Emma Lovell was allegedly stabbed while fighting off two 17 year olds at her property in in Moreton Bay, north of Brisbane, on Monday night.

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds says Lovell and her husband were in bed when their dogs started barking and they found two young men allegedly trying to rob them.

He says the couple, who have two kids, forced the teenagers outside, but Emma Lovell was stabbed to death in the process. Her husband, Lee Lovell, was also wounded.
