00:02A street in Rockhampton CBD brought to a standstill.
00:06Police received a call for a welfare check and found the body of a 32-year-old woman in a
00:11unit among a row of shops yesterday afternoon.
00:14Because of the appearance of a head injury with this lady and that she has been dead for possibly over
00:23a day, we're certainly treating it as suspicious, yes.
00:26Police say she had recently moved from interstate. Her 32-year-old male partner also lived at the address. They
00:33were both known to police.
00:35He's assisted us with our inquiries yesterday and into last night.
00:39In an unrelated matter, detectives are also investigating the death of a 66-year-old woman in Blackwater, west of
00:46Rockhampton on Sunday.
00:48Police say all avenues, including possible domestic violence, are part of the investigation.
00:53Anyone with more information is being urged to come forward.
00:57People might think it's just not relevant. We'd still like to hear from them.
01:02No one has been charged over either death.
01:04That's aç¼¶ of HP injury.
01:07No one has been charged—
