Inside the main bedroom of the Frenchville home, owned by anaesthetist Dr Andrew Carll, were the bodies of two people, aged in their 40s and 50s.

Both had significant injuries, but detectives remain tight-lipped on what they were and how they were caused.

Neither of the victims have been formally identified.

Neighbours and witnesses have been interviewed, and forensic officers have meticulously examined the scene, but what they’ve found remains a mystery.

“We were notified by a triple-0 call and obviously attended a short time later,” Detective Senior Sergeant Luke Peachey told 7 News.

“All I can say is the investigation is ongoing, a crime scene has been declared and two people have been found deceased at that residence.
