The community of a school teacher found dead in her home along with her baby daughter will hold a memorial south of Brisbane on Friday evening.
The bodies of Kate Paterson, 38, and her one-year-old daughter, April, were discovered by police on Thursday morning in the Logan suburb of Belivah with what they have described as wounds inflicted by a bladed weapon.
Police had attended the house on Belivah Road after Paterson’s partner Blake Seers, 39 – who was April’s father – was hit by a car a few blocks away, having already suffered an injury to his neck.
A large crime scene was set up, tracing drops of blood from the home towards the nearby Woolworths on the corner of Beenleigh Road and Bannockburn Road.
A black ute at the scene on Thursday had damage to the driver’s side mirror.
Seers remained in hospital on Friday morning, and is not yet facing charges, though police said the deaths were being investigated as suspicious.
Neighbours said they had provided to police CCTV that showed Seers headed towards the Woolworths, and officers have asked anyone with other footage or information to contact authorities.
Paterson was a year 5 teacher at Windaroo State School, a five-minute drive from the house through the ever-expanding estates of the Logan area.

Members of the community will gather on Belivah Road at 5.30 on Friday evening to lay flowers near the scene.
“Our community will come together this evening to honour the lives of Miss Paterson and her daughter April,” a Facebook post notifying the memorial event read.
“In times like this, our community stands together. By sharing our grief, supporting one another, and coming together as one, we can begin to find strength and healing.”
