Kenyan Woman Found Dead in Osborne Park, Australia

A Kenyan-born woman was on Wednesday found dead in Osborne Park, Australia in a suspected homicide case. 

The lifeless body of 34-year-old Jelagat Cheruiyot was found by officers attending a top-floor unit block on Main Street.

Her relatives and friends reported her disappearance at Morley police after being unable to contact her for close to a week.

Neighbors who spoke to local media said they had been hearing people argue around the Main Street unit before the woman's body was found on Wednesday.

Senior Sergeant Sean Wright said they are treating Jelagat's case as a homicide since her body had injuries.

“We are trying to put an exact time on the last time she was seen and its part of our investigation to speak to anyone who might have seen her, including people from work."

“It’s part of our investigation to speak to any person that has seen her, including people from work. It appears at this stage it could be as long as seven days,” he added.

He also said authorities are searching for two cars linked to the property where her body was found. 

“Police are asking for information to locate a blue 2007 Hyundai Getz hatchback, registration 1CMR900, and a 1995 blue Mitsubishi Coupe, registration 1BJP872,” he told PerthNow.
