Police have established two separate crime scenes following the tragic discovery of a woman and child deceased at a residential property in Logan. The incident unfolded early on Wednesday morning, sparking a major investigation by Queensland Police.
Supermarket Incident Triggers Police Response
Authorities were initially alerted to a supermarket located on Beaudesert Beenleigh Road in Bannockburn at approximately 7.30am. Reports indicated that a wounded man had entered the premises, prompting immediate concern and a swift police dispatch to the scene.
Connection to Belivah Address Revealed
Subsequent investigative work by officers quickly revealed a critical link between the injured man and a residential address in Belivah. Police determined that the man had fled to the supermarket from this location, leading them to conduct a welfare check at the Belivah property.
Upon arrival at the home, police made a harrowing discovery: a woman and a child were found deceased inside. The exact circumstances surrounding their deaths remain under active investigation, with forensic teams now working meticulously at both crime scenes.
Man Receiving Medical Treatment and Assisting Police
The wounded man is currently receiving necessary medical treatment for his injuries. Authorities have confirmed that he is cooperating with the investigation and will be providing assistance to police as they piece together the events that led to this devastating outcome.
No Ongoing Threat to Community
In a statement aimed at reassuring local residents, police have emphasised that they do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the wider community. The declaration of two crime scenes underscores the complexity and seriousness of the investigation, which is being treated with the utmost priority.
Detectives are urging anyone with information, particularly those who may have witnessed activity in the Bannockburn or Belivah areas early on Wednesday morning, to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers anonymously. The community is being asked to respect the privacy of those affected during this difficult time.
