Major question looms over investigation into ‘suspicious' death of Melbourne woman
How a woman reported missing came to suffer injuries consistent with a serious assault before she died in hospital is the subject of a police probe, with her death being treated as 'suspicious'. A woman in her 60s was reported missing by her neighbour on June 14, just a week after the neighbour had seen her with an unknown man outside her Noble Park home in Melbourne's southeast. The neighbour hadn't been able to contact her since spotting her with the man on June 7. The woman was found at Dandenong Hospital on June 16, with a Victoria Police spokesperson revealing she had injuries that appeared consistent with being seriously assaulted. Police were able to speak with the woman before she died in hospital days later on June 20. Her death is being treated as suspicious: the homicide squad have been called in to investigate. 'The exact circumstances surrounding the incident which led to her being injured are still being determined,' a Victoria Police spokesperson said. 'However detectives from the Homicide Squad are investigating and her death is being treated as suspicious.' Police have spoken to a 62-year-old Endeavour Hills man, who was known to the woman, regarding the incident, but he was released pending further inquiries. The woman's next of kin have not yet been notified of her death.
