Calls grow for inquest into death of Louisa Ioannidis in Melbourne

·

Over a decade after Louisa Ioannidis was discovered face down in a creek wearing a pink robe, there are renewed calls to reopen the investigation into her mysterious death.

According to The Herald Sun, the 24-year-old’s body was found by strangers at Darebin Creek in Melbourne on October 11, 2011.

How Ioannidis ended up there remains unclear, but neighbours reported seeing blood on her ear in her final hours, followed by a failed attempt to leave the country.

During the investigation, police partly relied on her partner, known as Joe, which is not his legal name. He was facing a domestic violence charge at the time, but the case did not proceed due to her death.

Months before her death, Ioannidis had been identified as “at risk” by police during Operation Check Up 2011, a proactive domestic violence initiative.

There are no suggestions that Joe is responsible for what happened to Ioannidis.

Currently, a change.org petition gaining traction calls for a coroner’s inquest into her death, spurred by new evidence from ex-cop turned private investigator Julia Robson.

Despite the cause of death being recorded as “consistent with drowning,” questions remain about how she ended up in the creek.

Her half-brother Anastasios, known as Tass, has been seeking answers since her death.

“I’m sure if she had gone down a different road she might have lived a better life … we just want a thorough investigation,” Tass told The Herald Sun.
