00:02Head down and in handcuffs, an accused triple murderer is driven away in a police van.
00:08Officers say in the early hours this morning, the 32-year-old unleashed on his own family in Rosemeadow,
00:15allegedly attacking his mother, father and two brothers before fleeing.
00:19Upon police arrival, they were confronted with a very grisly crime scene.
00:24At the property, emergency services found the bodies of the 65-year-old mother and 25-year-old brother.
00:31Blood force trauma is always horrendous for people to confront and any edge weapon attack is always horrendous.
00:37A 64-year-old man, the father, was also found critical.
00:42He was taken to Liverpool Hospital but later died.
00:45A surviving brother with minor injuries was the one to call triple zero.
00:50An hour later, officers say the alleged attacker returned to the scene, driving this silver car.
00:56He was taken into custody for questioning.
00:59Looking at some of the injuries, we suspect there might be more than one style of weapon.
01:04So we think that there's a bladed weapon involved.
01:08Police say the family had no criminal links and no history of domestic violence.
01:13They're investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role.
01:17I just know that there are three brothers and mother and father.
01:22One of them was troubled.
01:24The neighbours are quite friendly here.
01:26There's a school here.
01:26There's a lot of kids riding on the bike.
01:28The 32-year-old man has been charged with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
01:35He'll face court on Monday.
