The Kiwi mother of Australian girl Tiahleigh Palmer has today addressed media for the first time.
Cindy Palmer spoke of her heartbreak and disgust at learning her daughter's foster brother and father are accused of killing the 12-year-old.
Tiahleigh's foster father Rick Thorburn is charged with her murder and his son, Trent, 19, has been accused of incest.
Palmer remained composed throughout the press conference at a Queensland police station, that was live streamed online.
She thanked police, the media and the public for their support, but asked that people now respected her and her family's privacy.
