Police have identified Katherine Sanowski as a woman who was found dead inside an Ipswich home last Thursday.
Detectives today launching a homicide investigation into the suspicious death of the 42-year-old Springfield Lakes woman.
Ms Sanowski’s body was discovered by police at around 11:30am on February 19, after officers were called to a disturbance at Beryl Court in Bellbird Park.
A Bellbird Park resident, who is known to the woman, was located nearby and taken to hospital.
The 34-year-old is currently undergoing a medical assessment and is yet to be interviewed by police.
Speaking at Yamanto Police Station today, Inspector Michael Manago said a murder investigation was launched after police received autopsy results.
“There were some suspicious elements in regards to some of the injuries that were identified during the post-mortem,” Inspector Manago said.
“The exact nature of those, I’m not prepared to discuss at the moment.
“But we’re treating it as a homicide … and we have an investigation centre being established at the Yamanto police complex,” he said.
Detective Inspector Michael Manago said police believed the 42-year-old woman had been in the house for two weeks before she was found at the property.
“Officers had been called to a disturbance on the street where a person was reported to be damaging property and disrupting traffic,” he said.
Detective Inspector Manago said that there was no threat to the public and expressed sympathies to Ms Sanowski’s loved ones.
A crime scene remains in place as investigations continue.
