Detectives have charged a teenager with murder after a young girl was found dead in the State’s northwest today. WARNING: Distressing content
Reports allege the younger girl, who was a cousin of the 14-year-old, had marks carved into her body and was suffering stab wounds.
Police will not release details of the girl’s injuries except to say they were “substantial”. An autopsy will be carried out this week. A short time later, police arrested the 14-year-old girl “nearby”. She was taken to Gunnedah Police Station and spent the day with medical experts and local detectives where she was later charged with murder.
”It’s hard to talk about the details as it’s a police case, but because we are a small community and people know each other it will certainly touch a lot of people,” he said.“I can’t imagine the pain the families are going through at this time and our thoughts and prayers go out to them,” he said.
