Rel­a­tives of 57-year-old Shelawait­hie “Meera” Be­dasse, whose body was found hang­ing from a tree at Clifton Hill Beach on Re­pub­lic Day, say an au­top­sy has been con­duct­ed and foul play has not been ruled out.

Po­lice ini­tial­ly ruled that the woman’s death was due to self-harm.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, a rel­a­tive said that tox­i­col­o­gy tests still need to be done to de­ter­mine the ex­act cause of her death.
