CHIGWELL WOMAN REMAINS IN CRITICAL CONDITION

A 20-year-old Tasmanian woman remains in Melbourne's Alfred Hospital receiving specialist treatment for burns to more than fifty percent of her body following an incident at a Chigwell house on Monday.

The young woman remains in a critical condition in an induced coma and will undergo surgery today. She is expected to require medical treatment in Melbourne for many months.

Tasmania Police detectives are liaising with medical and police authorities in Melbourne and will travel to Victoria as required, meanwhile an interim family violence order and restraint order have been lodged with local courts.

The man accused of causing grievous bodily harm and other matters, who did not apply for bail, has been remanded in custody to appear in the Tasmanian Supreme Court on 13 June 2017.

Police are still seeking information from anyone who may be familiar with the case and are asked to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at crimestopperstas.com.au or phone 1800 333 000.
