Police believe a man allegedly killed his family in a drug-induced frenzy in their Sydney home overnight before returning to the grisly scene and being arrested.
Emergency services found the bodies of a woman in her 60s and a man in his 20s at a home in Rosemeadow near Campbelltown just after 1.30am on Sunday, police said.
Another 64-year-old man had suffered serious head injuries and was treated at the scene by ambulance officers. He was taken to Liverpool Hospital, where he later died.
At about 2.30am, a silver sedan arrived at the scene at Juliet Close in Rosemeadow and police arrested the 32-year-old male driver.
Sources with knowledge of the unfolding investigation say it appears the alleged killer was affected by drugs.
It’s believed he is the adult son and killed his parents and a sibling, though the family has yet to be identified.
Photographs from the scene shows a silver sedan being towed away as forensic police enter the home and remove evidence in brown paper bags.
Police said they had responded to the home to reports that a number of people were assaulted by a man known to them.
A crime scene has been established and Campbelltown police, with the assistance from State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad, are investigating.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
More to come.
