Man and a woman are found dead in a potential murder-suicide as distraught relative who made the grisly discovery says the door was kicked in
Police are investigating a potential murder-suicide after a man and a woman were found dead inside a home in Townsville.
Officers were called to the property on Fulham Road in Gulliver at about 9.15am on Tuesday, following the discovery of two bodies.
The pair, aged in the 40s, appear to be known to each other.
Townsville Superintendent Glen Pointing said he could not provide specific details on the deaths but detectives are investigating numerous scenarios to piece together what happened – including the possibility of a murder-suicide.
No one else was injured. Police have set up a crime scene and investigations are continuing.
Neighbour Peter MacElroy told The Townsville Bulletin he saw a group of men arrive at the home before police.
Mr MacElroy said one of the men spoke to him.
‘He said the door has been knocked down (at the home), and broken into and they were waiting for police,’ Mr MacElroy said.
One of the men is the brother of the woman, Mr MacElroy said.
