Neighbours said the couple were quiet people who largely kept to themselves.
They moved to the street with their two children about two years ago.
“Very sad, very sad set of circumstances. Hard to believe it’s happened not too far from our house,” neighbour Jenny told 9News.
“Nothing like this ever happens here so yeah, it’s very unfortunate.”

On Wednesday, forensic officers could be seen entering the home on Delatite Court.
Officers are focused on a stand-alone house on the cul-de-sac street.
Police tape was draped from the front fence across the footpath, as forensics in overalls and homicide detectives in suits went in and out.
