- Kiesha Thompson, 23, allegedly murdered
- Larissa Sant, 24, has been charged
The woman accused of running over and killing a young mother may reveal herself as a mother of three and petting zoo attendant.
Larissa Rita Mae-Leigh Sant, 24, is alleged to have deliberately driven her Toyota Landcruiser Prado towards Kiesha Thompson, 23, as she walked home on Friday.
Ms Thompson was standing on the pavement after dropping her daughter off at daycare in Daisy Hill, south of Brisbane, when she was allegedly hit.
Ms Thompson died in hospital that night and police later charged Sant with her murder.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal Sant has three young children and worked at a Brisbane petting zoo.
Her social media accounts are filled with selfies and posts about her tumultuous love life, relationship desires, and videos of herself dancing.

“I’m stuck between wanting to be happy forever and never wanting to lose what I have,” one post reads.
“How am I supposed to choose when the time comes?”
Police will allege the incident was premeditated and that Sant was driving the silver 4×4 in the area for an extended period of time before the Daisy Hill crash.
“We will be arguing that this event was not in fact an accident and that the young woman who tragically lost her life was in fact the target,” Detective Inspector Chris Knight told reporters on Sunday.
“For this reason, we do not believe that this was an unfortunate and fortuitous traffic accident.”
Sant was remanded in custody after her matter was mentioned at Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He was unable to apply for bail due to the seriousness of the charge.
Sant (pictured) is a mother of three young children and works on a pony farm.
Police will allege she drove around Daisy Hill for a period of time before Ms Thompson was hit.
Police said they seized a damaged silver Toyota Prado in Goodna, west of Brisbane, on Saturday, while the 24-year-old man was arrested a few suburbs away in Yamanto.
Police described the incident as out of the ordinary but declined to comment on any relationship between the pair.
Asked if it was a case of domestic violence, Detective Inspector Knight said: “It’s not as simple as that.”
Police are appealing for dashcam footage and have asked the driver, owner and passengers of an unmarked white bus seen nearby shortly before 9am on Friday to come forward.
Sant’s case has been adjourned to appear before Beenleigh Magistrates’ Court on July 31.
