Statement on death of mother, two children in Bonner


Released 27/02/2018

ACT Policing have confirmed the devastating news that three members of our community, Anne Muhoro, her eight-year-old son Ezvin and five-year-old daughter Furaha died in Bonner on Monday, 19 February 2018.

There are many people in our community that have been affected by this tragic event and I offer my condolences to the family and all those connected to the family on behalf of all Canberrans.

While we process this loss as a community, it is important that we remember this is an ongoing police investigation and a report is being prepared for the ACT Coroner. We need to respect the privacy of the individuals involved.

Information is likely to circulate through the news over the coming days which some may find distressing. Support services are available to anyone affected by this terrible tragedy either directly or indirectly and I encourage anyone feeling distressed to contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.

I would like to acknowledge ACT Fire & Rescue and ACT Policing for their ongoing efforts in this tragic incident and active investigation.
