Detective Chief Inspector Mick Fisher said people who lived in the house called paramedics, who then called police.
Investigation
“It’s an unusual situation, people don’t normally die without any outside influence of some description, it’s not clear at this point how this person died, so we’re investigating,” he said.
“I can’t say much more, it’s very early in the investigation and when things clear up we’ll be able to tell you a bit more.”
He said that Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Streng were acquaintances, but not related, and that the police did not know her.
“Major Crime’s involvement in forensics is determining what we have at the scene,” she said.
Michelle Swincer said she looked out the window and saw police cars and plainclothes detectives.
“It’s very worrying, on my quiet little street nothing ever seems to happen… I know things happen, but it’s quite confronting when it happens on your street,” she said.
Another neighbor said that Mrs. Hughes was friendly and said hello, but that the family kept to themselves.
Police and a forensic investigations team were at the scene for several hours on Tuesday gathering evidence and talking to neighbors.
Anyone with information about the suspected murder is urged to contact police.
