Police in Brisbane have launched a homicide investigation after a woman was found dead inside a suburban home in the city’s north early Saturday morning.

Emergency services were called to a property on Osprey Place in Taigum at around 12:30 a.m. following reports of an unresponsive woman. Officers arrived to find a 47-year-old woman with critical injuries. She was declared deceased at the scene.

A short time later, at about 1:10 a.m., police attended another residence on Hackman Street in McDowall, where a 52-year-old man was located. Authorities confirmed the man is assisting detectives with their inquiries.

Investigators have established two separate crime scenes at the Taigum and McDowall addresses. Specialist forensic officers have been conducting examinations at both locations throughout the weekend.

Detectives are appealing to the public for any information that could assist with the inquiry. This includes CCTV footage, dash-cam vision, or any activity noticed in the surrounding areas of Taigum or McDowall between Friday night and the early hours of Saturday morning.

“The investigation remains active, and we urge anyone with relevant information to come forward,” a Queensland Police Service spokesperson said.

Residents in the affected suburbs are expected to see an increased police presence as the investigation continues. Officers have reassured the community that all leads are being thoroughly followed and that further updates will be provided as soon as possible.

Authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances of the woman’s death, citing the need to preserve the integrity of the investigation. No charges have been laid at this stage.

Police confirmed that updates will be issued as more information becomes available.
