A man has been charged with murder after the body of a Queensland mother was discovered following a horrific house fire.
Emergency crews were called to the property at Geham, north of Toowoomba, just before 3am on Tuesday following reports of a large blaze.
Upon arrival, they found the home completely engulfed in flames.
During a search of the property, authorities sadly located the body of a woman, believed to be Louise Hunt, however her remains are yet to be formally identified.
Two children were also found uninjured near the house.
A crime scene was immediately declared with police deeming the inferno as suspicious.
Following investigations, a 45-year-old man, believed to be the woman’s husband, was located by police at a Redcliffe address later that afternoon.
He has since been charged with one count each of murder domestic violence offence and arson.
He’s expected to appear in Toowoomba Magistrates Court today as investigations continue.
