Queensland Police

Two people have been charged with Kiesha Thompson’s murder, with police alleging the “hit and run” was planned.

Days after Brian Early Johnston allegedly murdered his partner, Kelly Wilkinson, his lawyers told reporters: “Obviously, no one expected this to happen.”

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll has announced her resignation from the role, months before her five-year contract ends in July this year.

A man will face court today charged with the murder of his wife in Woodhill, Queensland, after he allegedly ran her over with a tractor.

The woman was being held by police in Brisbane, waiting to be transferred to a correctional facility. She was found dead in her cell on Wednesday.

“Our job as investigators is to keep a completely open mind,” he said in comments that have sparked outrage.
