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.
