Horrible. What a nightmare for her parents.

Wish we knew more of the circumstances. One article said her father had found her and LE said a male relative.
Was she home alone prior to the discovery? Is this a two parent household? What was the child’s timeline that day?
“The man who made the emergency call was seen assisting police at the scene while wearing a blue forensic suit, the Courier Mail reported.”
That sentence in the article surprised me. It is very early in the investigation and evidence collection/forensics phase to bring someone other than LE into the crime scene. I surmise they dressed him in the forensic suit and led him in asking him not to touch anything and to point out anything out of place, missing, etc. If he is the father, obviously his DNA would be all over the home and the victim. However, was LE able to confirm his alibi that quickly? Is Dad LE?

Interesting. Mother? Aunt? Babysitter? Neighbor?
Do we know if this was the child’s home? Reports refer to it as “a home” or “the home”. Have not seen it referred to as “her home”.
Did Dad go to pick her up and found her deceased or did he return home to find her?
