A homicide investigation has been launched in Lowood after a four-year-old girl was found dead inside a home on McInnes Street late Monday night. Emergency services were called just before 11:10pm, where the child was found unresponsive and declared dead at the scene. Police have since charged a 31-year-old woman with murder, alleging she was the only adult present at the time. Authorities say the incident is being treated as a domestic violence-related offence, and a full investigation is underway, including a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. The case has shocked the local Ipswich region community, with further court proceedings scheduled for mid-June.
