Officers arrived to find two dead bodies, a 52-year-old male and 40-year-old woman, who were known to each other but police would not confirm it was a domestic incident.

"Any death of this nature is treated as suspicious so it's very difficult for me to say murder suicide at this point in time," he said.
Inspector Thompson said there was no indication of a firearm but couldn't comment on any injuries, saying forensic officers were still working their way through the crime scene.
