NSW Police officers set up a crime scene and have begun enquiries with the help of the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad.

Police have been told the woman did not live at the home but was known to the occupants.

One neighbour told Nine News they were "gobsmacked" upon hearing the news.

Detectives are appealing to anyone who witnessed suspicious behaviour in the area or has information that could assist the investigation to come forward.
