Update: Murder charge, Buderim

Police have charged a 29-year-old woman with murder following extensive investigations into a traffic crash in Buderim last year.

A 62-year-old Tewantin man was struck by a vehicle while he was in the company of a 29-year-old woman on Stringybark Road around 2am on Saturday, May 16.

The man died shortly after arriving at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

Following forensic investigations, police have charged the 29-year-old woman with one count of murder.

It will be alleged the woman stabbed the man before he was struck by the vehicle.

The woman appeared in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on March 31 where she was remanded in custody to reappear in the same court on May 21.
