Police appeal for public help in Rockhampton murder probe
Richard Dinnen - Queensland Editor |
Police are appealing for public assistance with an investigation into the death of a woman in the Rockhampton suburb of Allenstown last weekend.
Police said a 35-year-old man was charged after the woman’s body was found at a home on West Street on Sunday afternoon. The woman is understood to have been in her 70s.
Police said the two were known to each other.
Investigators would like to speak to anyone with information regarding a silver/grey Great Wall dual cab utility that may have been travelling in the South Rockhampton area between Gladstone Road and Quay Street, with cross streets Derby Street, Stanley Street and South Street.
It’s believed bright coloured decals were removed from the vehicle on Sunday between 3 and 4pm.
Residents are also asked to check their yards, bins and any other parts of their properties for a plain grey jumper that may have been discarded.
Anyone with relevant information, CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact police.
The man is remanded in custody and will appear in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on November 16.
