Police are investigating a possible double murder after the bodies of two women were found in a unit complex in Auburn last night.
Emergency services were called to the complex on the corner of Queen and Harrow streets about 6pm, said Detective-Inspector Paul Goddard, of Flemington Local Command.
"They found two people of Asian appearance deceased within the unit. Police are treating the deaths as suspicious."
Ambulance officers had found the bodies in a first-floor bedroom, and they had signs of injuries. The causes of the deaths were unknown late last night.
Inspector Pat Wunsch from Flemington Local Area Command said a neighbour first discovered the bodies in the apartment and then called police.
She had keys to the unit as many of the rooms in the apartment block are sub-let, he said.
He said the ages of the women have not been confirmed, "but they are certainly not elderly women''.
He also said there were no signs of forced entry and at this stage there are no signs of robbery.
About six people who police believed shared the apartment with the dead women were gathered outside the building. They were being interviewed last night.
Officers from the public order riot squad searched the complex, trawling through plant beds and garden areas. Dozens of residents from the surrounding buildings gathered outside the block, some in shock, as they watched the investigation unfold.
Forensics officers and Homicide Squad detectives were at the apartment complex overnight and remained there this morning.
The bodies of the two women were taken to Glebe Morgue about 4am, where they will undergo a post mortem.
Police interviewed a number of people from the block where the bodies were found, with the help of interpreters who spoke Cantonese and Mandarin.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said she had overheard police say there was a witness to the incident.
The neighbour said she had heard others talking about the sound of screams coming from the building shortly before emergency services personnel had arrived. "Apparently there was a woman screaming."
The Auburn Central unit complex, which has closed-circuit television, is a new development in one of the highest density residential areas in western Sydney.
It houses thousands of people, many of them families with young children.
The buildings range from four to 10 storeys. |
