The woman found dead in Brisbane’s Kalinga Park on Wednesday has been identified as 26-year-old Ioli Hadjilyra.

Ms Hadjilyra’s body was discovered by Brisbane City council workers in a garden under a railway overpass at around midday in an area that is regularly used by the public.

Investigations into the circumstances that led to the discovery of Ms Hadjilyra’s body are continuing. 

Detective Inspector Tim Trezise from North Brisbane Police District said in a press conference on Wednesday that maintenance workers had spotted her while collecting debris in the area.

Ms Hadjilyra’s body was discovered by Brisbane City council workers in a garden under a railway overpass at around midday in an area that is regularly used by the public. 

Police are seen searching at the place where the 26-year-old’s body was found at Kalinga Park in Brisbane

Mr Trezise said Ms Hadjilyra may have been there overnight but they are expecting to know more once an autopsy has been conducted.  

‘It’s a tragic situation whenever a young person dies. She’s died in a public park and we are not sure what has lead to her being there,’ Mr Trezise said.

Mr Trezise said forensic investigators and an on-scene pathologist will be able to confirm whether or not she suffered any injuries, but there was no immediate signs of foul play.

‘We’re hoping that someone will report that their loved one is missing sometime in the next few hours and that may lead us to quickly establish who this person is,’ Mr Trezise said.

Mr Trezise said there was currently no CCTV footage of the area and homicide detectives are assisting with the case.

‘She was in a garden bed, which did make it difficult for the council workers to see her until they were quite close,’ Mr Trezise said.

Investigations into the circumstances that led to the discovery of Ms Hadjilyra’s body are continuing 

‘I assume any number of people have potentially cycled or walk past that location today and perhaps unknowingly the lady had been there the whole time in the garden bed,’ he said.

Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious at Kalinga Park on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning to report to police. 

An autopsy is expected in the coming days.
