A mother has been charged with murder after her four-year-old daughter was found dead at a home west of Brisbane.
The girl was discovered by emergency services when they were called to a Lowood residence about 11.10pm on Monday, police said.
Two other children were inside the property at the time but were not injured, police allege.
All three children were known to the 31-year old woman, police said.
Police said on Tuesday that the woman had been charged with one count of murder.
She is due to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on Tuesday afternoon.
Detective Inspector Michael Manago said the woman had been identified as the child's mother.
"This is an incredibly tragic situation, even more tragic given the presence of the other children at the dwelling at the time," he told reporters on Tuesday.
