The woman has not yet been formally identified at this stage.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Earlier today, WA Police detective inspector Jayd Morawski urged the unidentified man to contact police.<\/p>\n

“We want to provide a full picture, so we know exactly what occurred, so we can provide answers to the family and provide answers to the state coroner,” Morawski said.<\/p>\n

“There is a conversation required, there are answers that need to be given and he can provide those answers, so we’d like him to do that on his own volition.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, we have a lot of resources and a lot of technology that we can deploy to find this person.<\/p>\n

“We know who he is and the best thing he can do is hand himself in to police.”<\/p>\n

In an update later this evening, police said a \ufeff35-year-old was in their custody and assisting officers with their investigation.<\/p>\n

Police do not believe there is any threat to the wider community.<\/p>\n

“This is an isolated matter and as such, we don’t think the community is at any risk,” Morawski said.<\/p>\n

Police are also seeking CCTV\ufeff and dashcam footage from the Grand Boulevard between 9.30am and 9.45am today.<\/p>\n
