A relative of a woman found dead at a home in Kallangur has been charged with her murder.

The body of the 56-year-old woman was discovered inside a house along Winter Road around 12.50pm on Thursday.

It’s understood neighbours raised the alarm after hearing a disturbance at the property.

Moreton Bay police district Inspector Ben Fadian said responding officers were met with a “confronting” scene.

A 36-year-old man was taken into custody a short time later and charged with murder after being interviewed by police.

“The female person and the person assisting police were known to each other, they are relatives, they are not in a relationship, there is no DV order in place,” Inspector Fadian said.

He will appear before the Pine Rivers Magistrates Court today.
