A major police investigation is underway after a woman’s body was found dumped outside an apartment building in Perth’s north.

A woman’s body has been dumped outside a building in Perth’s north.

Police rushed to Grand Boulevard in Joondalup about 9.45am where a dead woman was found.

Detective Inspector General Jayd Morawski said a man approached paramedics for help with the unresponsive woman then fled.

Inspector Morawaski said when police arrived shortly after the woman was deceased.

“The details of the male person and his involvement forms part of the investigation and for operational reasons I will not go into those details at this time,” he said.

WA Police Detective Inspector General Jayd Morawski said a man approached paramedics for help with the unresponsive woman, then fled the area.
“However, I would say if that male person is watching … please make yourself known to WA place at this point.”

The inspector general said he would not reveal how the young lady ended up on Grand Boulevard in Joondalup, but the man made himself to St John WA paramedics and sought their help before he left the area.

He said police know who the man is and that he was known to the deceased woman, and they were making every effort to contact him.

“We would like to speak to him, his knowledge of the circumstances around this morning are key to this investigation, so we do need his assistance in getting a full picture as to what occurred,” he said.

“This is an isolated matter, and as such, we don’t think the community is at any risk.”
