Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in a car on the Mitchell Freeway southbound overnight.
The woman’s body was found in a Mitsubishi Lancer being driven on the Cedric Street off-ramp about 12.35am on Saturday, a police spokeswoman said.
A man who was the driver of the vehicle is being questioned and “assisting police with their inquiries”.
In a statement on Saturday afternoon, the police said the woman was believed to be a 35-year-old and a 49-year-old man was helping police.
Detectives were conducting further inquiries at several addresses in Scarborough over the matter.
In video shot last night shortly after the incident, a police woman can be seen standing guard while the man lays on the side of the freeway before being taken away by police.
