A father has been charged after his partner and their one-year-old daughter were found dead at a home in Queensland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kate Paterson, 37, and her 11-month-old daughter were found dead at their Belivah property in Logan, south of Brisbane, about 7.30am last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Police allege 38-year-old Blake Seers left the home and was struck by a car about 300m away on Beaudesert Beenleigh Road at Bannockburn.<\/p>\n

Witnesses reported seeing a man covered in blood running along a footpath before he was hit by a black ute.<\/p>\n

Detective Superintendent Chris Ahearn said investigators believe Seers deliberately ran into the path of the car.<\/p>\n

When officers went to notify his family, they instead discovered the bodies of Paterson and her daughter inside the home.<\/p>\n

Seers remains in hospital under police guard in a serious condition.<\/p>\n

He was charged on Tuesday with two counts of domestic violence-related murder, including one count relating to a domestic violence offence against a child.<\/p>\n

Police said he is continuing to receive medical treatment and is expected to appear via video link in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The tragedy unfolded just a day after CCTV captured the family walking together in the street.<\/p>\n

Paterson, a Year 5 teacher at Windaroo State School, had recently returned from maternity leave.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe<\/a> set up for her family described her as \u201ca loving daughter, sister, mother, partner and friend\u201d.<\/p>\n

Police said there were no domestic violence orders in place involving the couple.<\/p>\n

The deaths have shaken the local community, with flowers and handwritten tributes left outside both the home and the school.<\/p>\n

About 200 people attended a vigil last Friday to honour the teacher and her daughter.<\/p>\n

Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
