Tragic Discovery at Tennis Court Drive
Officers were called to the property at around 10.30am on Thursday, April 15, over concerns for the occupant’s welfare. Entry was forced, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem revealed she died from a head injury.

“Although an arrest has been made, our investigation continues to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the death,” Banfield said.
“I urge anyone with information who hasn’t yet spoken to police to come forward.”
