Police have ruled the death of a woman whose body was found at a house in Ipswich this month a homicide.
Police found the body of 42-year-old Springfield at the home on Beryl Court in Bellbird Park before noon on Feb. 19 after being called after a man was allegedly causing a disturbance in the street.
A police spokesman said the body “may have been in the house for some time”.
Neighbors said they had seen a man walking around the street for days and always wearing the same clothes.
