EXCLUSIVE
A husband who was found dead alongside his wife in a suspected murder-suicide was a known domestic violence offender and had several matters before Queensland courts.
Habib Bayat, 34, and Natasha Nibizi, 29, were found at a home on Redhead Street in Doolandella, in Brisbane‘s south-west, at 7pm on Tuesday.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal Bayat has a rap sheet in Townsville and Brisbane relating to domestic violence and Family Court matters.
One of the domestic violence charges included a breach in 2022.
Just hours after the couple was discovered dead, six of Bayat’s charges were finalised in Brisbane Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
When contacted for details about the nature of the charges, a Brisbane Magistrates’ Court spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia they were unable to disclose them due to ‘sensitivities’ and ‘Queensland law’.
The court would also not confirm whether, at the time of the deaths, Bayat had been scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday – or if the hearing was rescheduled in light of his death.

Queensland Police Detective Inspector Michael Hogan said officers arrived at the home after receiving a welfare call.
One of the bodies was reportedly found bound with zip ties but police are yet to reveal how the pair died or if any weapons were located at the house.
CCTV captured by 9News showed Ms Nibizi walking into the home on Tuesday and greeting a man at the front door.
Ms Nibizi and Mr Bayat got engaged in 2021 and married that year, before moving to Brisbane last December to reportedly be closer to Mr Bayat’s family.
Best friend Asfaty Shindano said the mother-of-four had just secured a new job the day before her death, according to the Courier Mail.
She said she had been with Ms Nibizi on Tuesday when her husband called and said he wanted to speak to her.

Neighbours described the find as ‘creepy’ and said the occupants of the house were ‘quiet’
‘I was sleeping over and her husband called her saying that he wanted to meet her… he wanted to talk with her,’ Ms Shindano told the publication.
‘We were worried when she wasn’t picking up our phone calls.’
A man dressed in a blue forensic suit was led away from the property by detectives after the discovery of the bodies while a second man was driven away from the scene.
Neither of the men, who lived at the home, are believed to have been in the house at the time of the incident and are not considered suspects but are helping police with their enquiries.
No children were at the home at the time.
Ms Nibizi’s youngest child is just eight months old.
