Crime scene declared as bodies of man, woman found in house at Doolandella

Alarming new details have emerged from inside the house where a Brisbane man and woman were mysteriously found dead.

Zip ties were involved in the deaths of a young man and woman at a Doolandella home but detectives have refused to confirm if they are treating the deaths as a domestic violence-related murder-suicide.

Detective Inspector Michael Hogan said officers received a “welfare call” and attended the Redhead St house about 7pm where the pair – a man aged 34 and a woman aged 29 – were found dead.

The man and woman were known to each other.

Two people were led away from the house on Tuesday night, but Det Insp Hogan said were not under arrest. He said they lived with the man but were not believed to be home at the time.

Both are assisting police with their inquiries, with one of them confirmed by police as the source of the request for a welfare check.

“I can confirm they are not suspects and we’re not considering they had any involvement in the death,” Insp Hogan said.

“I can confirm we are not looking for any other person that may be involved in this incident.”

Det Insp Hogan would not confirm if police had interacted with the man or woman before.

He would not confirm if a weapon was found at the house or how the man or woman died.

However, it’s understood zip ties were involved in their deaths.

Insp Hogan also declined to comment on whether police were treating the matter as a murder-suicide and said police were yet to formally identify the man and the woman.

“The clear message at the moment is just to assure the community as well, we are not looking for anyone else that is involved in this,” he said.

“If anyone has information that could assist the investigators, if they could come forward to police.”

Forensic crews remained at the property on Wednesday and emerged from the home with multiple evidence bags after spending most of the morning inside the home.

Detectives arrived on scene about 10.30am and began doorknocking neighbours, before entering the property.

Several cars were scattered around the property, with neighbours saying the residents kept to themselves.

Bene Joseph lived a few doors down and said the family was quiet.

“They were always really quiet. Not a lot of coming and going,” Ms Joseph said.

Neighbour Zac Zwart said the house and the street were normally quiet and they were shocked when they opened their front door to a crime scene.

“It’s creepy, it’s such a quiet house and a very quiet street,” he said.

“But there were obviously people there with all the cars everywhere and the bins are always out on bin night.”

Another neighbour said he often saw the family having large gatherings around special occasions.

Builder Gavin Savage, who was working on units across the street, said it was a shock to see the crime scene when he pulled into work this morning.

“Been working here about four years. The owner seemed pretty quiet,” Mr Savage said.

The man, believed to be a tow truck driver, was regularly seen bringing cars back to the house.

The man and woman were known to each other.
