The RAAF pilot husband of a mother-of-three who died in a reported late-night lawn mower incident has been arrested.
Frances Elizabeth Crawford, 49, was found dead on her rural property in Upper Lockyer, south-east Queensland, at 3.40am on July 30.
Her husband Robert made the triple 0 call to police, who found her body near a retaining wall in her backyard.
Queensland Police on Thursday announced a 47-year-old man had been taken into custody.
‘Emergency crews were initially called to a report of an incident at Thomas Road property in the Lockyer Valley just before 3.40am on July 30,’ police said.

‘An investigation centre was set up with teams of detectives from the Crime and Intelligence Command Homicide Group and Gatton Criminal Investigation Branch into the circumstances that lead to her death.
‘This morning detectives arrested a 47-year-old man.
‘Investigations are continuing and there is no further information at this time.’
The arrest comes after police made a public appeal last week asking anyone with information about the couple and their relationship to come forward.
Queensland police said people had reached out to detectives in recent days and thanked them for their ‘bravery’.
Anyone with information that can assist with the investigation is urged to contact police.
