A woman was discovered unresponsive at a property south of Brisbane early Wednesday morning, with police subsequently charging her former partner with murder. Officers responded to the scene at approximately 12:27 AM after the man contacted emergency services.
Paramedics were unable to revive the woman, and preliminary findings suggest she was "asphyxiated." The man accused of her death faces charges including murder (domestic violence offence) and breaching a temporary domestic violence order.

Detective Inspector Ian Galpin stated that investigations are ongoing regarding why the woman was at the property. He expressed confidence that police had acted appropriately and offered support, engaging with other services.
Authorities continue to appeal for any information that may assist their investigation into the incident.
