The Queensland Family and Child commissioner will launch an investigation into the circumstances of two autistic teenagers discovered malnourished and naked by police in a suburban Brisbane home on Wednesday.

Queensland police and Queensland’s minister for child safety, Di Farmer, said the inquiry would also examine the death of four-year-old Willow Dunn, who was allegedly murdered by her father.

Media reports have suggested the teenagers had been treated poorly for several years, with images surfacing of them being clothed in soiled nappies.

The teenage boys, aged 17 and 19, were discovered by police who heard sounds from within a locked bedroom when they responded to the sudden death of the boys’ 49-year-old father – who is understood to have suffered a heart attack – at their home in Stafford, in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, on Wednesday morning.

At 17 and 19 I wonder who else would have known.
