A young child discovers his parents were dead
Media sources in Australia revealed the most heartbreaking news recently. They explained how a young child received the shock of his life when he found out his parents were dead.
After receiving a series of emergency calls, police rushed to the scene in Townville in Queensland. Upon entry, they discovered the most horrifying and tragic news. The property contained two dead bodies. They belonged to a 48-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man. Unfortunately, their dead bodies lay inside their Gulliver property without a clue of evidence insight.
The police knew that they had a mega challenge ahead of them. And that’s when they decided to begin investigations as soon as possible. But how were the police notified about the case in the first place?
Police reveal heartbreaking details
Police officers in Queensland explain how they received a triple-zero call. And that’s because the young boy walked for miles, reaching a nearby suburb. On that note, he raised the alarm about the fact that his parents were dead.
Meanwhile, 7News explains how the police aren’t looking for any suspects in particular. They think that the case is more related to a murder-suicide. For this reason, they’re also taking on the investigations as ‘murder-suicide’ too.
As far as the boy’s actions were concerned, the lead detective had plenty to say. Firstly, he praised him for remaining calm and composed. Secondly, he showed great bravery to walk for hundreds of meters. Knowing that his parents were dead, it was beyond believable how he managed to do so much.
Murder-suicide- the clues that say it all
When asked to comment about the boy’s side of the story, the detective preferred to stay quiet.
Although he did mention how the boy played a valuable role in the case. Unfortunately, police officers received very little information from him. For this reason, it led to other citizens going and identifying that there were actually two dead people inside.
Meanwhile, police explain how they aren’t ruling out other possibilities. There may or may not be involvement from another party, they explained. With that said, most hints point towards suicide.
Yesterday, police spent the entire day in the deceased owner’s home. They tried their best to search for some form of evidence that would lead them towards so many questions.
Condolence start pouring in
Soon, a great number of condolences started pouring in. Inspector Miles who is leading the case explained how ‘every death is a tragedy.’ And this one was no exception. With the event happening so close to the holiday season, it’s absolutely heartbreaking for anyone to witness it.
As far as the young 5-year-old is concerned, he is currently living with his extended family. Police hope they can bring closure to the case soon, as extended loved ones await a response.
