A 37-year-old Braddon woman will be charged with murder over a man’s “suspicious” death, police say.

On Friday (30 January), an ACT Policing spokesperson said officers have been investigating the death of a man in a Braddon unit in December last year.

At about 11:30 pm on 20 December, police were called to a unit on Lowanna Street in Braddon, following reports of an injured man at that location.

Upon arrival, the man was located deceased inside the unit.

“He was identified as a 44-year-old from Belconnen and his death was treated as suspicious,” the spokesperson said.
