Police officer tragically killed by stolen car

A police officer was tragically struck and killed by the driver of a stolen vehicle on the Bruce Highway on Saturday morning.

Homicide detectives are seeking public assistance to help locate Skye Anne Wallis (pictured) who is suspected of driving the car which struck and killed Senior Constable David Masters just after 3am on June 26.

This follows the arrest of a 24-year-old Morayfield woman, who detectives will allege was a passenger of the stolen car.

Police executed a search warrant at an Upper Caboolture address where they arrested and charged the woman with the murder of Senior Constable David Masters.

Police later discovered the stolen car burnt out on Quarry Road at Moodlu.

The 24-year-old woman has been charged with one count each of murder, arson (motor vehicle) and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

Her bail was refused and she was due to appear in Caboolture Magistrates Court on Monday morning, 28 June.

Although the exact whereabouts of the suspected driver is unknown, she has connections with the North Brisbane and Moreton areas.

Skye Anne Wallis is described as 170cm tall, Caucasian, with dyed silver hair and brown eyes.

Detectives are appealing to Skye, or anyone with information on her whereabouts, to contact police.

Detectives are continuing their appeal for anyone with relevant dashcam or information regarding the matter to come forward.

Investigations by the Homicide Investigation Unit and Ethical Standards Command are continuing.
