NOBLE Park’s Marna Court is today filled with the haunting sounds of wailing women in mourning.
Police and paramedics were called to a home in the quiet street about 2am this morning to find a 31-year-old mother of four dead.
“The call was that a woman had been hurt at this location,” Homicide Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre told the Journal.
“Simultaneously to that phone call being made, a man who we believe is the man who made the phone call attended at the Dandenong Police Station and surrendered himself to police.
“At this point of time he’s under arrest, he’s being interviewed in respect to the death of this woman.”
Det Sen Sgt McIntyre said the 36-year-old was likely to face an out of sessions hearing at Dandenong Police Station this afternoon.
He said his crew had finished their interviews at the scene and a post-mortem was scheduled for later today.
Det Sen Sgt McIntyre said the woman’s children were aged between two and 12 years.
“It’s hard to know what to do to make people that are that upset at ease,” he said of the women gathering in the home’s front yard, crying out and comforting each other.
“There’s no words that are going to make it better.”
Neighbours said the man and woman were together at a party last night, and that they heard doors slamming about 2.30am.
They said the woman kept to herself and the street was “very quiet”.
