The family of a woman killed in a violent assault in a Toowoomba unit more than two years ago, say they feel let down by the justice system, after her attackers were sentenced in the Supreme Court.
Key points:
The mother was struck repeatedly by a golf club, hammer and metal pole in her Toowoomba home
The feud began between the two families when another family member passed away
Debbie Combarngo (pictured), was bashed with a hammer, golf clubs and metal poles before she was stabbed to death in front of her daughter inside her Wilsonton home, Toowoomba, in May 2018
Cousins and family friends who bashed a mum to death with a golf club in front of her pregnant daughter have been jailed.
Debbie Marie Combarngo, 37, died after being beaten and stabbed in the attack at a home in Wilsonton, Toowoomba, in May 2018.
She was hit with a golf club, pipe and hammer leaving injuries including a 23cm wound to the left side of her chest that caused catastrophic blood loss.

Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) bungled its bid to initiate legal proceedings to realise its mortgage security on a couple s home by failing to comply with the Homeowners Protection Act.
Justice Ian Winder, in a December 7, 2020, ruling struck out its action against Lawson and Rhonda Hall after finding that the Canadian-owned lender had breached the Act s section 4 (1) by failing to serve them with the proceedings personally or by registered post.
The Supreme Court found there was no explanation or evidence to support RBC s decision to serve the couple via a general delivery post box when it knew they lived at the mortgaged property on Swordfish Drive in Stapledon Gardens. There was also no evidence provided by the bank to support that this was the Halls last postal address.
