Slacks Creek rapper Ronald Cora, 37, also known as MC Triks, was arrested and charged with the alleged domestic violence murder of his former girlfriend Djuan Baker-Adams on August 12.

Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Alliance chief executive Melanie Arnost said domestic violence deaths were the “tip of the iceberg” in Australia’s domestic violence problem.
“Another tragedy is rocking our community,” she said.
“We can try everything we can … but at the end of the day, this is an issue that goes much, much deeper.”
Ms Arnost said more funding for frontline services and intervention and prevention programs was needed to “change the narrative” in Australia.
“We need extra investment to keep women and children safe and make sure everyone across Queensland has a happy and healthy relationship and can live happily and safely in their home,” Ms Arnost said.
