Two people found dead in paddock in Waitākere, West Auckland

Two people have been found dead in a paddock at a rural property in Waitākere, West Auckland.

A police spokesperson said they were notified just before 7.30am.

“Two people have been located deceased in a paddock at the Anzac Valley Rd property.”

A scene examination is underway, and at this stage the circumstances of the deaths are unexplained.

A neighbour who lives across the road from where the bodies were found said her husband took their dog for a walk this morning only to be confronted with a large number of police and an ambulance in the property, a lifestyle block.

They did not hear anything overnight before police arrived, she said.

She said she understood the property where the bodies were found was rented by a man from a woman who lives in Henderson.
