Suspected Murder-Suicide of Brisbane Doctor and Daughter Raises Questions Over Missed Warnings

Police say they are not seeking other suspects.

Overview

  • Officers found anaesthetist Tiffany Wilkes, 54, and her eight-year-old daughter during a welfare check at a Kenmore Hills Airbnb on September 29.
  • Detectives are preparing a report for the coroner and have appealed for information and any relevant footage.
  • The ABC reports Wilkes was involuntarily treated under the Mental Health Act in 2023 and had been off clinical duties for about 18 months.
  • Media reports say the child missed much of school in 2024 before being moved to home-schooling this year, with no child-safety reports recorded and no routine home visits required under Queensland rules.
  • Wilkes’s AHPRA registration previously showed no practice conditions before her public profile was removed after the deaths.
