A man and a woman have been discovered deceased inside a residence in Melbourne's southwestern suburb of Werribee, prompting detectives to launch an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
Police officers attended a property on Melton Close in Werribee on Friday afternoon to conduct a welfare check. Upon arrival, they located the bodies of a 31-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman inside the home.
Property listed for sale
The property is currently listed on the real estate market and was scheduled to be open for inspection on Saturday. The listing has since been withdrawn as police continue their inquiries.
Neighbours express shock
Residents in the quiet neighbourhood have expressed shock and disbelief over the discovery. One neighbour reported that they had not heard any signs of disturbance coming from the home.
“Neighbours are quiet, so I haven’t really heard anything like argument or fighting,” the neighbour said.
Autopsies pending
Detectives are currently awaiting the results of autopsies to determine the cause of death. The findings will be crucial in establishing how the pair died.
Police have stated that they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths, indicating that there is no immediate threat to the community. Investigations are ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
