南澳大利亚警方正在调查36岁母亲Helena Wright及其23个月大女儿的死亡事件,两具遗体已于周一在Port Macdonnell西海岸外的海洋中被发现[1]。警方基于现有证据将此事件作为谋杀-自杀案件进行调查[1]。
失踪的三个月大男婴随母亲和姐姐一同消失,经过三天的陆海搜救后,警方已表示找到婴儿活着的希望为零[1]。Supt Trent Cox周三指出:"现实是,三天后,找到婴儿活着的概率为零"[1]。搜救工作涵盖陆地和海上,范围包括Cape Northumberland附近区域[1],但极端恶劣的天气条件严重阻碍了搜救进展[1]。
一辆车辆于周一上午11:15被发现弃置在现场,引擎仍处于运转状态[1]。Helena Wright原籍爱沙尼亚[1]。
South Australian police are investigating the deaths of 36-year-old Helena Wright and her 23-month-old daughter as a suspected murder-suicide following the discovery of both bodies in the ocean west of Port Macdonnell on Monday.[1] The investigation comes after a vehicle was found abandoned at the scene on Monday morning at 11:15 a.m. with its engine still running.[1] A three-month-old boy who disappeared alongside the mother and his sister remains missing, and after three days of combined land and sea search operations in the area near Cape Northumberland, police have indicated that the likelihood of finding the infant alive has diminished to near zero.[1]
Superintendent Trent Cox stated on Wednesday that "the reality is, after three days, the probability of locating the baby alive is zero."[1] Authorities have characterized their investigation as treating the incident as a murder-suicide case based on available evidence.[1] The search effort has been significantly hampered by extreme weather conditions.[1] Helena Wright was originally from Estonia.[1]
