Kenmore Hills: Mother and daughter found dead at luxury Airbnb property outside Brisbane
A luxury Airbnb, with an asking price of just under $1000 per night, has become a crime scene after a mother and her young daughter were found dead at the property.
The sprawling homestead located in western Brisbane was listed as an Airbnb home rental before police were called to perform a welfare check on the pair who had been staying there.
Officers arrived on Monday and located the bodies of a 54-year-old woman and an eight-year-old girl from the Brisbane suburb of Norman Park at the Tinarra Crescent, Kenmore Hills house.
