Police believe a woman pushing a pram may have witnessed last week’s lake tragedy at Wyndham Vale, and they are pleading with her to come forward.
Homicide squad detectives say they have been told the Caucasian woman, aged in her 30s, knocked on the door of a nearby house to alert the resident to a car that had gone into Lake Gladman.
Three children, four-year-old twins Madit and Anger and one-year old Bol, died as a result of the incident.
The Toyota Kluger was being driven by the children’s mother, Akon Guode.
Ms Guode has been interviewed by police and released without charge.
Police renewed their appeal for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
“Detectives are also appealing for further assistance from the South Sudanese community,” Sergeant Sharon Darcy said.
“Investigators would like to speak to anyone who knows the family, their movements on the day of the tragedy or [anyone] who has any other information they believe could be of assistance.
“A number of calls have been received and investigators are urging those callers to contact police again.”
Anyone with information is asked to go to their local police, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at www.crimestoppers.com.au.
