Woman Faces Court Over Suspicious Death in Braddon Unit
A 37-year-old woman has been formally charged with murder, several weeks after the suspicious death of a man at a residential unit in the inner-north Canberra suburb of Braddon. The development marks a significant step in a police investigation that began in late December last year.
Details of the Incident and Court Appearance
According to authorities, the woman is scheduled to appear before the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday, January 30, 2026. She faces a single charge of murder relating to the death of a 44-year-old man from the Belconnen area. The case has progressed from an initial suspicious death investigation to a formal homicide charge.
Police Response and Initial Discovery
ACT Policing officers were first called to a unit on Lowanna Street in Braddon at approximately 11:35 PM on December 20, 2025. The call was in response to reports of an injured male at the location. Upon arrival, investigators discovered the deceased man. His identity has not yet been publicly released by authorities.
From the outset, police treated the man's death as suspicious, leading to a thorough forensic and investigative process. The charge laid this week is the direct result of that ongoing inquiry, which has spanned several weeks.
Appeal for Public Information
Investigators have reiterated their appeal for information from the public. They are urging anyone with knowledge about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers. The specific reference number for this case is P2408490. Police believe further community assistance could be crucial to the proceedings.
This case adds to the list of serious criminal matters currently before the ACT courts. The legal process is now set to begin in earnest with the accused's first court appearance.
