Police were initially called to a convenience store in Ellenbrook around 1:30 a.m. after a man requested their presence. Upon arrival, police made inquiries which lead them to a nearby home where they discovered the bodies of an 8-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl, and their 48-year-old mother, according to a statement.
