Multiple bodies found in burnt out car at popular Perth beach
Three bodies have been found in a burnt out vehicle in Perth's south.
The car was located at a beachside car park in Coogee shortly after midday on Monday (local time) before emergency services were called, WA Police confirmed.
Police say three bodies were found deceased inside the vehicle at John Graham Reserve.
Two of the bodies are reportedly children and the third is believed to be their mother, according to NCA Newswire.
A WA Police spokesperson could not confirm such reports with Yahoo News Australia. Police are expected to release further information later on Tuesday.
One witness told The West he heard what sounded like several gunshots in the area popular with families and beachgoers.
"I saw the heat and embers from the fire on the other side of the bush. There would have been about 10 bangs," he said.
Homicide detectives have commenced investigations with police closing the surrounding area in search of evidence.
Helicopter vision from Nine News shows police pulling a green sheet over the red car located in a parking bay.
Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area between 11am and 12pm on Monday to come forward, particularly those with dashcam footage.
