Mackay police have charged a 46-year-old woman following a two-year investigation into the suspicious death of a child at Munbura, near Mackay on August 29, 2021.
Emergency crews were called to a Munbura Road address on that date, after a four-year-old child, Tarrin-Macen O'Sullivan, was reported to have drowned in a backyard pool.
After extensive investigations through Operation Tango Anise, detectives will now allege the four-year-old child died before entering the pool.
Last Friday, December 8, detectives from the Mackay Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) arrested the mother, 46-year-old Tara Richardson, at a South Mackay address.
Ms Richardson has been charged with one count of murder (domestic violence offence) and one count of misconduct with corpse by interference.
