00:01Three people have died after a violent incident overnight at a home in Sydney's southwest.
00:08For more, I'm joined now by Victoria Penguilly who's at the scene for us.
00:12Hi there Victoria. So what have police had to say about this incident?
00:17Hi Mel. Well look, emergency services were called to this home in Rosemeadow around 1.30 this morning to reports
00:24of a violent assault.
00:26And they came across what can only be described as a bloody and grisly scene.
00:31Now police say when they arrived they found the bodies of a 65 year old woman and a 25 year
00:37old man.
00:37Both with blunt force injuries.
00:39Paramedics moved the woman to the backyard but she couldn't be revived.
00:43A 64 year old man was also found with critical head injuries.
00:47He was taken to hospital but he later died.
00:50Now there was a younger man, a 30 year old, who also sustained some injuries.
00:54He's the one who alerted authorities to what was going on, calling triple zero.
01:00Police say around an hour later at 2.30 in the morning a 32 year old man returned back to
01:06the property driving a silver sedan.
01:08He was taken into custody and he's now being questioned by police.
01:12Police are alleging he was involved in this assault.
01:15Now they say that this was a family unit, a mother and father and three sons living at the property
01:19and the adjourning granny flat.
01:21They had no criminal history and no history of domestic violence.
01:25They say that they're investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role but they're yet to find a murder weapon
01:31though they believe a hammer may have been involved.
01:35Here's what police had to say earlier.
01:37We've got to recover what weapons are inside the house so whilst we can say it's a hammer we've got
01:44to be 100% sure.
01:45Looking at some of the injuries we suspect there might be more than one style of weapon.
01:49So we think that there's a bladed weapon involved as well as some type of weapon that can create a
01:56blunt force injury.
01:57Now the homicide squad and forensics have been coming and going from the property all morning trying to find clues
02:03to explain what happened here this morning.
02:05They say investigations are still ongoing.
02:09You, you, you, you, you.
