Homicide investigation underway after alleged murder in Nambour

Sunshine Coast detectives investigating the alleged murder of 31-year-old Buddina woman Aysha Baty are appealing for public assistance as they try and trace her recent movements.

Police would like to speak with anyone who saw, had contact with, or knows about Aysha’s movements and or whereabouts over the week before her death.

Detectives are also keen to speak with anyone who has background information regarding Aysha’s relationship with friends and associates.

Police were called to Matthew Street, Nambour around 1.30am on Saturday, August 22 following reports a woman had been seriously assaulted.

Aysha was allegedly located with significant injuries and declared deceased at the scene.

A 34-year-old Burnside man was arrested Sunday and charged with murder. He was due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 24.

Police have appealed for anyone who was in the vicinity of Nambour CBD, particularly Currie Street on the Bridge, near the Nambour RSL who observed any suspicious behaviour between 12.30am and 2am Saturday, August 22 to contact police. Anyone that has dashcam or CCTV of the same area and time are being asked to contact police as well.
