When police were called to a rural property in West Auckland’s Waitākere ranges, they found two elderly people dead.

The incident had been reported just after 7:30 a.m. by the victims’ son, who had gone to the property after he hadn’t heard from them for a couple of days. St John Ambulance was also notified of the incident and responded with two ambulances and two rapid response vehicles.
