OPINION
The woman’s two young children, aged three and four-years-old, were at the home at the time.1
A crime scene has been established, with the woman’s husband and brother-in-law, aged 28 and 26 respectively, charged with one count each of murder (domestic violence offence).2
Two men; the woman's brother-in-law, 28, and the woman's husband, 26, were taken into custody and were said to be assisting officers with their enquiries.
Queensland Police said both men have since been charged with one count of murder and will front Ipswich Magistrates Court on Monday.
Detective Inspector Michael Manago said several lines of inquiry were being investigated into what allegedly happened on Friday evening.
A crime scene has been established at the home.
A post-mortem will also be performed.
It's unknown if any weapons were found at the scene or if drugs were involved but Det Insp Manago said the family had only been living at the house for a short time and were from Afghanistan.
'At the moment, we're trying to establish, through consulate and other lines of inquiry, next of kin to contact in regard to what's happened,' he said.
Det Insp Manago said a Mercedes Benz was seized and who called the police was also part of the investigation.
'I would like to say this is a terribly tragic event, especially given young children being in the home, and our thoughts go out to the victims, family and friends who are naturally impacted by what's transpired,' he said.
Neighbours told The Courier-Mail3 they didn't hear anything until the police arrived.
'I'm shocked, because this is one of the quiet places in Springfield Lakes, and we don't have this type of incident happening in our community,' Raj Lundo said.
