Saturday 4 June 2022 05:40 PM Merna Kasha threatened to kill mum and was paranoid before body was found in ... trends now
Merna Kasha was forbidden from going near her own mother after threatening to kill her during a heated argument.
The 19-year-old's body was recovered from Green Valley Creek in Canley Heights about 2pm on Saturday after a month-long search.
Investigations are ongoing but her death is not believed to be suspicious.
She was regularly smoking marijuana and told police during an arrest she used it to 'cope with stress'.
Friends told Daily Mail Australia Ms Kasha had a strained relationship with her family in the months leading to her death and had alienated herself from loved ones as she became consumed by a new relationship.

Ms Kasha returned home to find her mother on the phone to authorities and, according to documents, lost her temper.
'She said ''why did you call the police? I'm going to kill you'' and walked past the hallway toward the kitchen,' police facts state.

Her mother was concerned she was going to grab a knife from the kitchen and tried to contain her in a bear hug, which prompted the altercation.
Ms Kasha bit her mother and scratched her face. Her brother, who witnessed the altercation, again called police.
She was arrested and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, destroying property and stalking.
An apprehended violence order was put in place to protect her mother - which she breached on several occasions before her disappearance.
