Arrest made for the alleged murder of Queensland psychologist
Police have arrested a 47-year-old man in connection with the death of Queensland mother and psychologist Frances Crawford.
The 49-year-old woman was found dead on an Upper Lockyer property in Queensland shortly before 4am on July 30th, with paramedics initially reporting the incident as a "mower rollover".
Despite initial reports, police shared an update on their investigation on Friday to say they were treating her death as suspicious, alleging the woman was murdered.
Superintendent Marchesini said several lines of inquiry were being pursued by homicide detectives, and shared a plea to the public for information.
One of the lines of inquiry being pursued involved the alleged relationship Frances' husband Robert had with “multiple women”.
“We believe there were women who were involved in relationships with Mr Crawford who may have information about Mrs Crawford that will assist with this investigation,” Superintendent Marchesini said at the time.
“We are particularly interested in speaking with people who knew of Frances or Robert Crawford and their personal circumstances, including their marriage.”
On Thursday, police released a statement to confirm that they had arrested Frances’ husband in connection to her death, while thanking the public for valuable information.
“Investigations are continuing and there is no further information at this time,” they said.
“Detectives can confirm a number of people have provided information since our last public appeal, and thank those people for their bravery in coming forward.”
“Anyone with information that can assist with investigations is encouraged to come forward and contact police.”
