Bodies still at scene

1 min read

The bodies of two women discovered yesterday under a Wainoni house are still at the scene.

Detective Inspector Tom Fitzgerald says that police may be able to get one out later today but the second one not until tomorrow or even Monday. Progress is slow because it has to be a thorough examination.

"There is limited room, perhaps 50cm, under the floor, so before we can get to the bodies we have to dismantle part of the house," he says. "We have to thoroughly examine those areas before we do that."

The people who live in the adjoining house are still living there.

Police are building a profile of the 32 year old man and his 35 year old wife who lived there.

There is a team of 26 police working on the inquiry, as well as specialist police staff and ESR.
