Brisbane baby death treated as suspicious, mother questioned by police

Detective Acting Inspector Rod Watts said the baby was seen alive and healthy in CCTV footage with her parents at Buranda Village shopping centre the day before she died.

“The medical evidence is one part of the investigation but certainly the investigations that we’ve done through our police methodologies have led us to believe this is not a natural death,” he said.

“Someone knows something, between 5pm on November 15 and 8am on November 16 something has happened to that child which is suspicious … the child was happy and healthy one afternoon and the next morning the child was at home deceased.”
