76yo Brisbane woman charged with murder of child from about 50 years ago

A 76-year-old woman from southern Brisbane has appeared in court charged with murder as police investigate the death of a child five decades ago.

Detectives said they launched a homicide investigation in August after receiving information about the disappearance and suspected death of a three or four-year-old boy from Inala.

A crime scene has been declared at the house of Maureen Anne Enright, in Polaris Street, Inala, after she was taken into custody last night.
