WA Police Inspector Glen Beros of the Midland District Office said it was a
“tragic” incident that police are carefully looking into.

“As with all family violence-related investigations, they are complex and we want
to be very thorough to work through this,” Insp. Beros said.

He said the woman sustained “life-changing injuries” and there were several
witnesses to the horrific incident assisting with the investigation.

“The residents have done fantastically but of course, it’s been a very traumatic
experience for them,” Insp. Beros said.

“Some of them were on scene virtually immediately and were assisting the young
woman, particularly with her injuries.”
