00:00Unconscious, with signs of an obvious head injury.
00:06That's the scene that confronted police in Darwin's northern suburbs overnight, before
00:11a 53-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene.
00:14It's heartbreaking, you know, another life gone.
00:19Just after 1am, police received reports that a woman was not breathing near a shopping
00:23complex in Wanguri.
00:25Paramedics attempted to resuscitate her, but were unsuccessful.
00:29At this stage, I have no information to indicate whether or not it's a domestic family violence
00:34matter or not.
00:35The major crime unit is treating her death as suspicious, and is appealing for witnesses.
00:40There were a group of people there at the time with her, but as I said, we're also asking
00:45if anybody saw that group of people there at the time, is to call police with any further
00:50information.
00:51The incident, leaving neighbours rattled.
00:54It sounded like a man was screaming, and yeah, that went on for probably an hour.
01:02We have had instances before where there's been some violence, but to know that it's
01:06gone to that extreme, it's, yeah, it's heartbreaking, I feel, for the woman who died.
01:12Police have urged anyone with information or CCTV in the area to come forward.
