Moving tributes for baby girls found dead in car at Logan

A mother and her young sons have made a moving gesture in the memory of the two baby girls found dead in a car near Brisbane this afternoon. It’s one of thousands of tributes in the aftermath of the ghastly tragedy.

A MOTHER and her three young sons have left a teddy bear near where two baby girls were found dead in a car south of Brisbane this afternoon.

The two children, girls aged just one and two, were found unresponsive in the car on Logan Reserve Road at Waterford West about 1.30pm.

Detective Inspector Mark White from the Logan Child Protection and Investigation said there was some evidence the girls were exposed to “extreme heat”, which was directing the police investigation.

Kirra, the woman who left teddy bear, said she didn’t know the family, but wanted to do something nice.

“I’ve got three young kids of my own and they thought it would be nice,” she said breaking down.

“It breaks my heart, there’s no words for it”

One of her sons asked: “Are you sad mummy?”

She said: “Yes but it’s OK to be sad”.
