Rodney Police who
have been investigating the circumstances surrounding the
death of a 60 year old female at Arkles Bay earlier this
month have determined her death as non suspicious.
Police
recovered the body of Katherine BENNETT from the shoreline
at Arkles Bay beach on the morning of Monday 7 January
2013.
Significant resources were deployed to the
investigation at the time as the death of Katherine BENNETT
continued to remain unexplained.
Detective Senior Sergeant
Brett Batty, Area Manager, Investigations, Rodney, says the
reclassification is the result of extensive ongoing
enquiries by investigators and forensic experts, all of
which has clarified the circumstances surrounding her
death.
“Police spoke to a wide sector of the community
in the course of the investigations. Valuable information
was provided by the public which we wish to acknowledge with
gratitude.”
“Details of how death occurred will not be
released as the matter will now be referred to the
Coroner,” Detective Senior Sergeant Batty
said. ends
