The home of an elderly couple who were allegedly poisoned by their own daughter has been ransacked by thieves on multiple occasions.
According to 7News, the Hackham home of Brenda and Lynton Anderson has been targeted by thieves about half a dozen times.
Several windows at the property have been boarded up after the glass was smashed to gain access.
Police have confirmed that the abandoned house has been targeted, however it is unclear if anything was stolen.
It was reported by 7News that surveillance cameras have now been set-up at the property and police are regularly patrolling the area.
Neighbour Sue Holtham said she was devastated.
“Somebody should have been staying there to look after the place,” she said.
“It’s not nice, it’s shocking, I hope they catch whoever’s done it.”
It’s understood one family member checks the property each day for signs of criminal activity.
The revelation comes just days after accused killer Raelene Polymiadis, 62, was released from custody after her family agreed to forfeit more than half a million dollars should she disobey home detention conditions.
On Thursday, she declined to comment outside prison, and wore a mask to cover her face.
Polymiadis has yet to plead to two counts of murder over the deaths of her parents from alleged insulin poisoning within a year of each other.
