Police are investigating the murder of a 45-year-old man whose body was found in the bedroom of a home at Wynnum today.
Investigators were called to a home on Ronald St shortly after noon after the man’s body was discovered by a friend, who called triple-0.
Detective Inspector Steve Hollands said it’s believed the man, who lived alone, was killed between 1am and midday, and that it did not appear that robbery was a motive.
“A man discovered the body and contacted another member of his family and they both inspected the address and found that the man was deceased,” he said.
“We’ve just contacted next of kin and they have been advised of his death.
“My understanding is he did live alone.”
Inspector Hollands said he did not have further details of the man’s injuries but said it was clear to attending officers that the man’s death was suspicious.
He said there were no persons of interest.
When asked if there were any indications of how the man died, Insp Hollands said: “No, it’s too early to tell what has caused his death.”
“We do have items of interest that we have located at the address however I can’t comment on what those items are at this stage,” he said.
A crime scene has been put in place and forensic officers are on scene.
Police are asking that anyone who saw or heard anything unusual overnight to contact them.
They would also like to speak to anyone who has dashcam footage or CCTV.
