56TH AUSTRALIAN WOMAN KILLED IN 2026

A homicide investigation is underway after a body located near Terragon last week was identified as missing Northern Rivers woman Yvonne Whear.
Yvonne, 73, was last seen driving in Murwillumbah, on February 19.
On September 12, Yvonne's vehicle was recovered from a river. On October 5, her body was found.
Detectives are treating her death as a homicide.
Yvonne is the 56th Australian woman killed this year. Last year we lost 80 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed.

❤️ABOUT THE COUNT❤️
I document all Australian women & children lost to murder, manslaughter, neglect and other unlawful acts regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship to the victim. This means not all women and children killed are lost to domestic violence. They are also killed by people known to them (ie friends) or by strangers. My work includes Australians killed overseas. Every death is documented at AustralianFemicideWatch.org/database
