A beloved mother has been identified as the victim of a suspected murder-suicide in Western Australia.
At about 10.40am on Thursday, the body of 32-year-old Georgia Lyall was discovered in a home in South Guildford after concerns about her welfare were raised with police.
Shortly after the discovery, emergency services were called to a unit fire in Innaloo, about 22km from South Guildford where a man’s body was found — believed to be that of Ms Lyall’s ex-partner Luke Noormets.
Mr Noormets, 33, is also believed to be linked to the Rebels bikie group, and had been jailed for several years before the incident for crimes including torture and waterboarding.
In Ms Lyall’s social media, she described herself as a “mama”.
Police said detectives had established that the deaths were linked, and the two were known to each other.
“There are no concerns for the safety of the wider community,” a police spokesperson said.
Investigations into the circumstances of both incidents are ongoing.
