Police are continuing to ask members of the public who know any information related to the death of a woman in Bourke earlier this week to come forward. 

Around 8am on 29 October, the body of a 47-year-old woman was found outside her home on Parkdale Road. 

"She was a well-known and respected long-time member of the Bourke community and her death has caused widespread distress," Commander of the Central North Police District, Superintendent Gerard Lawson said. 

"I have spoken with family members and we are continuing to support them and keep them informed." 

The crime scene at the deceased woman's house continues to remain active. 

"As inquiries continue, detectives are awaiting the outcome of the post-mortem examination to get a clearer idea of the circumstances of the woman's death," Superintendent Lawson said.

A 49-year-old man from Bourke was arrested shortly after at the scene. He was not charged with any offences related to the victim's death 

The man did receive unrelated charges of stalking and intimidating intending physical harm after allegedly threatening a 42-year-old with a weapon in a separate incident. 

The man was refused bail and appeared before Cobar Local Court on 30 October. He remains in custody and is scheduled to reappear before court in Bourke on 7 November.

Police were dispatched to Parkdale Road as well on 27 October after reports of two men fighting, however, no charges were laid following the incident. 

Police urge anyone with dashcam/mobile footage or who has any other tips relating to the death of the woman to come forward.
