The house is being heavily guarded by uniformed police as it is on a major arterial road which cannot be taped off.
A large number of detectives were seen entering the property about 5.30pm.
A woman with two young children was seen being escorted by detectives to the property.
One woman standing near the police line appeared distressed and when asked if she knew the people who lived at the home, tearfully replied "no comment".
More friends of the pair arrived at the property about 6.30pm.
One woman was heard telling detectives "I tried to help him". A man and woman said they knew the couple but "weren't allowed to comment".
Cars including a Lotus and a late-model BMW convertible are parked in the driveway of the home.
