The tranquil streets of Kenmore Hills have been shattered by an unimaginable tragedy, with police confirming the deaths of 40-year-old Tiffany Wilkes and her young daughter at their suburban Brisbane home.
Emergency services rushed to the residence on Monday afternoon following urgent concerns for the welfare of those inside. What they discovered has left the tight-knit community reeling and searching for answers.
A Community in Mourning
Neighbours described Tiffany as a devoted mother who was actively involved in local community activities. The family had been living in the area for several years, with their home becoming the scene of what police are treating as a domestic violence incident.
"This is absolutely devastating for our community," one local resident shared. "They were a quiet family - this has come as a complete shock to everyone who knew them."
Police Investigation Underway
Queensland Police have confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. Detective Inspector David Jack emphasised that this appears to be an isolated incident, though investigations remain ongoing.
"This is a tragic set of circumstances that will have a profound impact on the community," Inspector Jack told reporters. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends during this difficult time."
Support Services Mobilised
In response to the tragedy, local support services have been activated to help community members process the shocking news. Counsellors are available for those affected by the incident, particularly at the local schools where the young girl was known.
The incident has prompted renewed discussions about domestic violence support services in the area, with community leaders urging anyone experiencing family violence to reach out for help.
