Logan: Chaotic events that led to discovery of mum and baby’s bodies at Belivah home revealed

WARNING: Distressing content. Shocking details about the events surrounding the discovery of the bodies of a woman and a baby have been revealed.

The 38-year-old and her one-year-old were found dead inside a home in Belivah, a suburb of the Queensland city of Logan, just after 7.30am on Thursday morning.

Police were led to the home after a man in his 30s, apparently already bleeding from a wound to his neck, ran from the house towards a supermarket before being struck by a black dual cab ute on Beaudesert Beenleigh Road at Bannockburn.

After he was identified, officers traced him back the home in Belivah where the mother and child were found deceased with wounds from an edged weapon. It is unknown at this stage when they died.

It is understood the man was in a relationship with the woman and had been living at the Belivah home at the time of the tragedy.

“We believe the three of these people live in a family unit at that house. Child, mother, and father,“ Logan District Detective Acting Inspector Jason Kitto said.

“That’s the nature of what we know of their relationship at this point. Again, it is early in the investigation and our investigations are focusing heavily on the nature of their relationship and those living arrangements at that house.”

Insp. Kitto said the deaths are being treated as suspicious and the house had been locked down as forensic officers examined the scene.

He said the man had suffered a number of injuries and was unconscious, under police guard in Princess Alexandra Hospital as he received treatment.

“We’re in the process of working out what injuries were caused by being struck by the car and if he had any prior injuries to that,” Insp. Kitto said.

“There are some witness accounts that suggest he was running towards where he was hit by the car and had already had some injuries to the neck area.”

He said members of the public called in a pedestrian being struck by a car which was why police and emergency services came to converge on that scene.

It was in the process of trying to contact his next of kin that the bodies of the woman and the baby were found.

Insp Kitto called on anyone with dashcam or mobile phone footage taken in the vicinity of Belivah Road and Beaudesert Beenleigh Road between 7am and 8.30am to contact police.
