The mysterious death of Indigenous woman Constance Watcho in 2017 has left many questions unanswered, with the coroner suggesting it may have been caused by an unknown person or persons.
Deputy Queensland coroner Stephanie Gallagher quickly delivered her findings, stating that Watcho’s death was likely under suspicious circumstances, with her body being tampered with post-mortem, but no clear evidence pointing to the culprit.
Watcho, a mother of 10 from Brisbane, was found deceased in Kangaroo Point in 2018, believed to have been dismembered months earlier and left in a sports bag.
Despite police now suspecting foul play and offering a substantial reward for information, no one has been charged in connection to her death.
During the inquest, three persons of interest emerged, but the lack of compelling evidence led to no charges being filed. The identities of these individuals remain protected.
Witnesses recalled seeing Watcho in a heated argument with her partner before her disappearance, shedding light on possible motives for her tragic fate.
The coroner’s report highlighted inconsistencies in the statements provided by individuals close to Watcho, raising suspicions but falling short of concrete evidence.
Despite the lack of closure, the search for justice continues as authorities strive to unravel the mystery surrounding Constance Watcho’s untimely demise.
