00:00In my 15 year career as a detective it's one of the most confronting scenes I have seen.
00:04Police were called to a residence in Carrara on the Gold Coast following a report of a young girl
00:09being discovered unresponsive by her father. Despite her father and emergency services best
00:14efforts the young 10 year old girl was pronounced deceased by the attending paramedics. An
00:21investigation was immediately commenced and as a result the child's mother has been arrested for
00:26her murder. The victim is a 10 year old girl. It's my understanding that she attends a local
00:32school. I believe the school may have released a statement in relation to her attendance at
00:36that school but I won't be providing any further comment in relation to that at this stage. But
00:42due to the nature of it and the impact this has on the school community our thoughts do
00:45go out to that school at this time.
