Toddler Safely Rescued as Authorities Probe Disturbing Incident on Cottrell Street
In a tragic incident, the Wyndham Crime Investigation Unit detectives are currently conducting an investigation after the discovery of a woman’s lifeless body in Werribee on the 31st of May.
Building management was allegedlly prompted to conduct a welfare check two days ago at the residence on Cottrell Street, but police sadly found the woman deceased around 11:40 a.m. this morning.
