WA police open homicide file in Kununurra woman’s death

A woman found fatally injured outside a leisure centre in a rural town has died, prompting police to open a homicide probe.

Officers were called to the centre in Kununurra, a small town in far north Western Australia, about 9:45am on Saturday.

The seriously injured woman in her 30s was found on the corner of Coolibah and Ron Hodnett drives.

Police gave emergency first aid but were unable to save the woman, who died at the scene. Another woman is assisting with the investigation.

Homicide detectives will travel to Kununurra later on Saturday to investigate the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death, a police spokeswoman told AAP.

The leisure centre car park has been cordoned off with forensic officers at the scene.

The surrounding post office, recreation centre, water splash park and visitors centre are also closed.

Members of the public are asked to stay away from the area.
