A neighbour of a 50-year-old man allegedly stabbed to death in an apparent domestic-related murder has recalled hearing a woman's "blood-curdling" screams as the man died in front of her and his teenage son.

Max Podvorac, who lives three doors from the victim's house in rural Delaney's Creek, about 20 kilometres north west of Caboolture, said the small, tight-knit neighbourhood in Chappel Road was reeling from the man's death.

Mr Podvorac described the small business owner and father-of-two as "a very, very nice guy" and a "genuine sort of person".

He said shocked residents of the dead-end road, which is comprised mainly of small acreage properties, were struggling to come to terms with the violent event that had occurred in the sleepy area.
