TWO 16-year-old girls strangled their teenage friend before burying her in a shallow grave beneath her house, West Australian police will allege.
The girls were charged with wilful murder early this morning after they allegedly went to police and directed officers to a house at Collie, south of Perth, where the body of their 15-year-old friend was found.
Police say one of the 16-year-olds, from Collie, walked into the local police station yesterday afternoon and the other, from the northern Perth suburb of Clarkson, handed herself in to police in Perth a few hours later.
Acting on information from the pair, police found a girl's body under her house at Collie, 200km south of Perth, at about 2am WST (4am AEST) today, police said.
Bunbury Detective Sergeant Darren Kelly said the alleged attack was likely to have occurred on Sunday and the body had been buried in a shallow grave.
"We will be alleging that she was strangled but that's yet to be confirmed by the way of post-mortem," Det Sgt Kelly said to AAP. "We're alleging that the attack was premeditated and it was unprovoked."
Det Sgt Kelly said the victim was a student who shared a house with the alleged offender from Collie, and the two had been friends.
The pair had shared the house with its owner, an unrelated man.
The Perth girl was friends with her alleged co-offender and had been visiting her in Collie on the weekend, he said.
The victim's mother reported her daughter missing on Tuesday, he said.
"The mum just became concerned that she hadn't had any contact with her for a couple of days and then went about initially looking for her on Monday and then formally reporting her on Tuesday as a missing person."
The body has yet to be exhumed and formally identified, he said.
Det Sgt Kelly said he had never come across a situation like this in his "20 years on the job".
The Collie girl will this morning appear in a children's court in Bunbury, and the Clarkson girl will appear in Perth Children's Court.
