POLICE have confirmed that two adults and two children were the dead bodies found in the house at Glen Waverely.
The uncle of the two children, a boy and girl, aged 8 and 4, said the family were “absolutely shattered” on hearing the news.
“It’s a real mystery, we just do not know what has happened,” the uncle said.
Abhay Singh said he visited the family regularly and they never seemed to have any problems.
“They were a really lovely family, very reserved. He was an accountant, she was also well qualified. It is shattering. I don’t know how anyone can recover from that.”
Mr Singh said he attended a birthday party with the family quite recently and all seemed well.
He said the father and mother of the children, aged in their 30s, had come to Australia from Fiji about 15 years ago and had lived in the Marcia Court home for about three years.
Homicide detective senior sergeant Dave Snare said police arrived at the scene about 11am today after receiving a call from someone concerned about the welfare of the family.
He said at this stage police were not looking for any suspects.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said police arrived to find four bodies inside the home. She could not give any information about the bodies, including their ages or whether they were members of the same family.
There is a strong police presence at the tree-lined court which has well-tended gardens and brick veneer homes.
“The homicide squad has been notified and are attending with the Monash criminal investigation unit,” the spokeswoman said.
“The circumstances of the death are under investigation and are yet to be established.”
The tiny court has now been sealed off. A silver sedan is parked in the driveway of the home where the bodies were discovered. There was also a red hatch outside.
A neighbour whose home backs on to the property where the bodies were found said a woman lived at the brick single-storey home and that she had a young daughter
