Two women found dead at home in Melbourne’s north-east

Two women have been found dead in a north-east Melbourne home.

Police said officers were called to a property in Haughton Parade in Rosanna for a welfare check about 11.20am on Tuesday.

“Emergency services located two women, aged 84 and 64, deceased inside the property,” police said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon.

“Police are making inquiries and are yet to determine the cause of the deaths and when they occurred.

“At this early stage, the deaths are not believed to be suspicious.”

Neighbours said they had not heard anything from the house for weeks or months, Nine News reported.

A tradesman working next door said he noticed a foul smell coming from the property on Tuesday morning, which prompted neighbours to call police.
