Four children and three adults were found dead Friday at a rural property near the Margaret River wine region in western Australia, in an apparent murder-suicide with two weapons found nearby.
Police said they responded to an early-morning phone call and arrived to find a “horrific incident” in the small town of Osmington near the world-renowned wine-growing area south of Perth.
Five bodies were found inside a house and two outside. Homicide detectives were investigating but police were not looking for a suspect-suggesting a murder-suicide although this was not confirmed.
“I can only say at this point in time, we have no information to raise concern about wider public safety issues,” Western Australia police commissioner Chris Dawson said.
