A 31-year-old nurse has been charged with the murder of her four-year-old daughter at their home near Ipswich, west of Brisbane.
The mother accused of killing her four-year-old child had reportedly undergone recent mental health treatment and the Child Safety Department had been notified about the family’s matters.
The 31-year-old woman, who has been identified as a nurse, faced a Queensland court yesterday after being charged with her daughter’s alleged murder.
On Monday night, emergency services were contacted about 11.10pm with reports of a deceased child at a property on McInnes Street in Lowood, about an hour west of Brisbane.
The girl was found unresponsive and medical assistance was provided, however she was declared dead at the scene.
Two other children, both aged under three, were at home when the horrific alleged killing was carried out. They were unharmed.
The children’s 31-year-old mother was charged with one count of murder – domestic violence against a child on Tuesday morning.
The Courier Mail have reported that she underwent mental health treatment last month and that the Department of Child Safety had been notified about the family’s matters.
When approached by the publication, the department was unable to comment on the family’s case.
“As the matter is being investigated by the police, it would be inappropriate to comment further,” the spokesperson said.
A spokesperson from public health provider West Moreton Health was also unable to comment, according to the masthead.
“The death of a child is an absolute tragedy and our thoughts are with everyone involved. As this is a police matter, we are unable to provide further information,” the spokesperson said.
