As a woman passed away at a stranger’s Gold Coast home this morning, neighbors have expressed their dismay.
About 1:40 am this morning, Tugun police were summoned to the Partridge Place duplex after receiving complaints that a “unknown” woman had entered the building.
After trying to revive the woman who was found unconscious, she was pronounced dead at the site.
Early investigations, according to Detective Inspector Chris Ahearn, show that the male homeowner was awakened when the woman entered the yard.
He made an effort to hold her until the police arrived.
She was kept in that position until the cops showed up, according to Ahearn.
“We are unsure of her motivation for visiting the property. The woman wasn’t invited to the property and the homeowner didn’t know her.
Ahearn stated that a homeowner has the right to defend their property with justifiable force.
Authorities have classified the Tugun property, where a woman died, a crime scene.
One of his lines of inquiry was to examine the amount of force applied during the detention.
“After consulting with the coroner, our inquiry will move forward.”
Although the woman’s identity has not yet been revealed, there are reports that she has contacts nearby.
Anybody who observed the woman in the area between midnight and 1:40am is requested to call the police, according to Ahearn.
Carl Le-Poer-Trench, a neighbor, was awakened in the wee hours while the “frightening” episode took place.
It’s a little worrisome that it took place here, he said.
It’s a family-friendly area, and it’s so calm.
“I stood up once again because I could still hear things happening, and the next thing I knew, I was surrounded by police cars and all the lights of the ambulances.”
