Editor’s Note: This is a developing story.
Two people have been found dead inside a family home in Tinarra Crescent, Kenmore Hills, leaving the quiet Brisbane suburb in shock and prompting an urgent police investigation into the tragedy.
The deceased were Norman Park local Dr Tiffany Wilkes, 54, an anaesthetist who had worked at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and The Wesley, and her eight-year-old daughter, Clementine. Apparently, Dr Wilkes had scheduled an email to a colleague outlining her intentions, which led to the welfare check at Tinarra Crescent.
Police respond to welfare check
According to Queensland Police, officers were called to a property in Kenmore Hills just after 12:40 p.m. on Monday, 29 Sept, following concerns for the occupants’ well-being.
Upon entering the property, police and emergency crews discovered the bodies of the mother and child. It’s believed they were found outside the house.
A crime scene was declared shortly after, with detectives and forensic teams remaining at the house throughout the day.
Authorities have confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the public, but details surrounding the deaths remain under investigation. The property, described in reports as a large family residence, is listed on Airbnb.
Early Investigations
Police have not laid charges or named any suspects at this stage. Several outlets reported the deaths are being treated as a suspected murder–suicide, though authorities have not confirmed the circumstances publicly. Officers are preparing a report for the coroner, who will determine the exact cause of death.
Detectives have been speaking with residents in the area and are gathering information to piece together what led to the discovery. Police urged the community to remain patient as the investigation continues.
Kenmore Hills is known for its leafy streets and family-friendly environment, and residents at the tightly held suburb expressed their shock at the heavy police presence in their normally quiet neighbourhood.
