Grim sight at home where three people were found dead and a man was arrested – as details emerge about family that ‘kept to themselves’

Grim new details have emerged around the deaths of three people in a family home in Sydney’s south west overnight as a man remains in police custody.

Police said the couple in their 60s and their 37-year-old son were attacked at the home on Juliet Close, Rosemeadow just after 1.30am on Sunday.

Emergency services were called to the home following reports of a violent assault however were confronted by a ‘very grisly crime scene’ upon their arrival.

‘Police first encountered a 61-year-old woman and started doing first aid on her… police went inside the house and found a 64-year-old male who was still alive with serious blunt force head injuries,’ Campbelltown Commander Superintendent Grant Healey told reporters on Sunday morning.

‘They found a 37-year-old male deceased in a granny flat in rear of the premise.’

Superintendent Healey said another brother aged 30 was taken to Liverpool Hospital and was released after receiving medical treatment.

Officers arrested a 32-year-old man an hour after the grisly discovery after a silver sedan pulled up at the scene.

The driver of the car, who is believed to be the couple’s middle son, was taken to Campbelltown Police Station where inquiries are continuing.

When asked by reporters if the man would be charged today, Superintendent Healey said: ‘It’s still very early. We have a few things to run through’.

He said the family, who are Asian-Australians, were not well known to police.

Superintendent Healey said police believe more than one weapon was used during the deadly attack, including a bladed weapon and one that would cause ‘blunt force trauma’, which he agreed may have been a hammer. 

No firearms are believed to have been involved.

More to come.
