Police have launched a murder investigation after a young woman's body was found overnight at Logan Central, south of Brisbane.

The body of a woman, believed to be aged in her 20s, was found bloodied and naked in front of a house on Leichhardt Street in Logan Central about 7:00am (AEST).

Detective Superintendent David Hutchinson says a murder investigation has been launched.

He says the woman is still to be formally identified but detectives are speaking to staff at a local fast food restaurant.

"We would like to speak to anyone who may have been walking down the street who saw any items of clothing on the road or anything suspicious," he said.

"Some parts of the uniform were located in the street.

"We are currently investigating any missing persons from the area and we have homicide squad and major and organised crime squad detectives assisting in the investigation.

"She is located lying on the ground beside the house - she is partially clothed.

"The cause of death is not known at this time.

"A person walking down the street saw the body and woke up the person in the house."

Resident Robert Mills says he was walking to the shops this morning when he saw the dead woman.

"[I was] freaked out - [I] knocked on these guys' doors and they're all freaking out," he said.

"I don't know her but we've seen her ... I just want to cry - I just want to be with my girls."

Resident Ian Twist says locals covered the body so schoolchildren did not see it.

He says the woman's fast food restaurant uniform was strewn across the road.

"Her hat and everything is on one side of the street and her body was on the other side of the street," he said.

"A lot of people use [the street] as a short cut - they said it happened pretty early last night so she didn't get to work or anything like that."

Superintendent Hutchinson says police want to speak with anyone who was in Leichhardt Street overnight.

"Whether they were walking or travelling the street in a vehicle to contact police," he said.

Police are urging anyone who witnessed suspicious activity to call CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.
