Blood in the Outback: A Harrowing Case Raises Questions About Domestic Violence and Police Response The outback town of Charleville, Queensland, was plunged into a state of high alert on Wednesday night as police responded to reports of a serious assault.
Over the next few hours, a 45 year old man took his own life, along with that of a 23 year old woman who was pregnant at the time of her death.
Their 18 month old daughter, miraculously spared from physical harm but undoubtedly scarred by what she witnessed, is now in the care of the Child Safety Department.
