1 min read

Police investigating the deaths of three people in a house in Feilding can now confirm that the location of the incident is Lees Road.

Police were contacted at approximately 10.20am by a visitor to the house.

The bodies of a middle-aged couple and an elderly man were found inside the house.

The house has been cordoned off and a scene examination will be carried out over the coming days. Police are keeping an open mind but following an initial assessment Police do not believe they are looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths.

Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan said: "The examination of the scene is likely to take some days and we will not be making any comment or speculating on cause of death until post mortem examinations have been carried out. I understand that the Feilding community will be very upset but I would like to assure them that whilst this is a tragedy I am confident that there is no risk to the community."

No more details about the three people who have died will be released until they have been formally identified.

The Coroner has been notified and will be kept appraised.
