Police are not confirming if two bodies discovered outside a Rotorua house were the result of a murder-suicide.
Shots are reported to have rung out across the Rotorua suburb of Fordlands late yesterday, July 9, before two bodies were discovered in the backyard of the Sunset Road property. A .22 rife was found nearby.
Police are getting a clearer picture of what emerged but have not released further details.
Neighbours have reported hearing loud abusive arguments coming from the property earlier yesterday afternoon.
