Man Charged With Alleged Domestic Violence Murder After Woman Found Dead in Slacks Creek - Brisbane, QLD
Smart summary
A 37-year-old man has been charged after a 27-year-old woman was found dead at a Slacks Creek property early Wednesday morning.
Queensland Police have charged a 37-year-old man with alleged murder after a 27-year-old woman was found dead at a property in Slacks Creek, south of Brisbane, early on Wednesday, 12 August 2026.
Police were called to the property shortly after midnight following a report that the woman was unresponsive after an alleged assault. Emergency services attended the address, but paramedics were unable to revive her.
Investigators have identified the woman as someone who had previously been in a relationship with the man who has now been charged. Police have confirmed that officers had recently been in contact with the woman and had offered support.
The circumstances surrounding the woman's death remain under investigation. Police are examining what happened inside the property and the events leading up to the emergency call.
The accused man, identified in reports as Ronald Cora, was arrested at the scene and charged with murder. He is expected to face Brisbane Magistrates Court proceedings.
The incident has attracted significant attention because it is being investigated as an alleged domestic violence-related killing. Queensland authorities have repeatedly emphasised the importance of identifying and responding to domestic and family violence risks, particularly where police have previously received concerns involving people in relationships.
Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie has also faced questions about the government's response to domestic violence and the implementation of recommendations from the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death and have appealed for anyone with relevant information to come forward.
The case remains before the courts, and the allegations against the accused have not been proven. The investigation is ongoing, and further information may emerge as detectives examine evidence and speak with witnesses.
For Brisbane and the wider Logan community, the incident is another reminder of the serious consequences that can arise from domestic and family violence. Authorities continue to encourage people experiencing violence or concerns about someone's safety to seek appropriate assistance.
This report is confirmed as a 12 August 2026 story, not an 11 August article being republished. Multiple outlets, including 9News and The Courier-Mail, are reporting the same incident; I am combining those reports into one story rather than treating them as duplicates.
