Police probe alleged murder of ‘Loving, beautiful girl’

Sunshine Coast detectives investigating the alleged murder of 31-year-old Buddina woman Aysha Baty in Nambour early Saturday morning are appealing for public assistance as they try to trace her movements.

Police want to speak with anyone who saw, had contact with, or knows about Aysha’s movements and or whereabouts over the past seven days.

Detectives are also keen to speak with anyone who has background information regarding Aysha’s relationship with friends and associates.

Police were called to Matthew Street, Nambour around 1.30am on Saturday, August 22 following reports a woman had been seriously assaulted. Aysha was found lying on the roadside in Nambour, early on Saturday morning. She had head and chest injuries and was declared deceased at the scene. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Daren Edwards said on Monday Police would allege Ms Baty was assaulted with a cricket bat and stabbed multiple times. It is believed she had been living on the streets in the previous few days.

Dylan Alexander Wilson, 34, of Burnside, who was found nearby and arrested, has since been charged with her murder after appearing in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday (August 24). He was remanded in custody and was to be assessed by a psychiatrist.

The matter was adjourned until October.

Detectives appealed for anyone who was in the Nambour CBD, particularly Currie Street on the Bridge, near the Nambour RSL who observed any suspicious behaviour between 12.30am and 2am Saturday, August 22 to contact them on 131 444.
